The Peacock is the hub for the Haddon Estate fisheries which offers some of the finest and most extensive dry fly fishing for wild trout in the country. Fishermen come from all over the world, and the Derbyshire Wye is famous for being the only river in the United Kingdom with wild rainbow trout as well as wild brown trout.
Only guided days, hotel residents and members of The Peacock Fly Fishing Club are permitted to fish during season on the estate. Tickets can be booked by calling 01629 733 518. Why not combine a relaxing stay with a spot of fishing?
For more regular fishers, our Peacock Fly Fishing Club membership offers exceptional fishing opportunities on four rivers.

Four rivers run through the Haddon Estate: The rivers Derwent, Wye, Lathkill and Bradford with over 15 miles of fishing to choose from.
We do not stock any of our rivers, so all fish are wild. The Derbyshire Wye is the only river in the country with wild rainbow trout.
A superb opportunity to join one of the most exceptional fishing clubs in the country with fishing on the Wye, Derwent, Lathkill, and Bradford. Membership starts from just £750 per year, no joining fee. Membership includes demos, meals, barbeques, breakfasts, talks, traditional annual events and 15% discount at The Peacock at Rowsley.

This river is available for members, guided days and hotel residents to fish on 3 ½ miles of the River Derwent. Unlike the Wye, wet flies and nymphs can be used as well as dry flies, and wading is permitted with caution!
Available to hotel residents, guided days and members of the Peacock Fly Fishing Club.
The only river in the country with wild rainbow trout; with over seven miles of some of the best dry fly fishing in the UK. The river is not stocked at all, providing challenging fishing for wild brown and rainbow trout as well as for grayling. We operate a strict “catch and release” policy, with fish being released unharmed.
Members of The Peacock Fly Fishing Club have access to two beats of the river Lathkill and the river Bradford.
They are both beautiful small and delicate limestone spring fed rivers. Anglers have the opportunity to sight fish and stalk the fish amongst the crystal clear waters.
For anglers wishing to fish somewhere exclusive and special, The Peacock at Rowsley now offers access to Haddon Estate two private beats.
These beats are very lightly fished by the Estate’s owners and are set in private grounds.
