Catch of the day at Hopping Mill Meadow

If you’re an angling amateur looking to become the next Hugh Miles or Matt Hayes, or just need some tips on how to improve your longlining and trolling, why not come to Bryant Homes’ ‘Expert Angling Event’ at its Hopping Mill Meadow development in Milford on Saturday 8th August.

Martin Jacques, a veteran angler with 24 year’s experience and match secretary for the Belper and District Angling Club, will be at the development from 11am until 4pm, to teach beginners how to angle. Visitors will also have the chance to enter a free prize draw to win £100 of fishing equipment from Belper Tackle Shop.

Anne Wallace, regional sales and marketing director for Bryant Homes, said: “We’re really looking forward to welcoming Martin to Hopping Mill Meadow, as its picturesque location right next to the River Derwent and surrounded by beautiful countryside provides the perfect place for a day’s angling.

“As well as offering amateurs their first taste of angling with an expert, Martin will be giving tips and advice to proficient anglers on how they can improve their technique. So, whether you’re an angling wannabe or are just looking for advice, come along and join in the fun!”

Martin added: “I’m delighted to be visiting Hopping Mill Meadow and hope that I can encourage others to share my passion for angling. With the development located so close to the river, Hopping Mill Meadow is the perfect home for angling enthusiasts as they can literally step out of their front door and onto the riverside in one of the best angling spots the area has to offer.”

To make angling even easier for residents, Belper and District Angling Club is giving Hopping Mill Meadow two complimentary fishing passes which are valid until the end of the season.

Hopping Mill Meadow sits within the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage site and is located in an idyllic setting on the outskirts of the picture postcard village of Milford and next to the River Derwent.
