Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 16:44 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

Fishing Overview Nottingham

Nottingham fishing is dominated by the River Trent, supported by the Nottingham Canal, the River Leen and a ring of day-ticket and club stillwaters. The Trent here is a big, powerful river that responds well to thoughtful swim choice and feeding, while the commercials around Holme Pierrepont, Gunthorpe and beyond give reliable action with carp and silver fish in almost any weather.

Seasonal patterns on the Trent near Nottingham are key. Late autumn through early spring is prime time for barbel, chub and big perch on the river, especially during mild, coloured conditions after rain. In winter, focus on slower inside lines, crease swims and slack margins, scaling down to size 16–18 hooks and single maggot, fluro hookbaits or small boilies. Summer and early autumn bring consistent sport with barbel, bream and roach on evening sessions; target dusk into dark with pellets, meat or boilies for barbel, and groundbait feeder tactics for bream and skimmers.

On local stillwaters and commercials around Nottingham, carp and F1s drive the action from spring to late autumn. In warmer months, shallow pellet waggler, method feeder to the island, and short 2+2 pole lines with pellets and corn work well. During high pressure and bright conditions, scale down to lighter hooklengths and smaller hard pellets, and fish tighter to features. In winter, focus on maggot and expander pellets, feeding very sparingly to keep bites coming from F1s, roach and skimmers.

The Nottingham Canal and cut sections of the Trent offer controlled, steady fishing, ideal in winter when the main river is in flood. These venues hold roach, skimmers, perch and occasional zander. Classic punch-bread over liquidised bread is a reliable cold-water roach approach, with pinkie or single maggot fine when you need extra bites. For perch, small worm or prawn baits fished tight to boats, pilings or lock mouths pick out better fish.

Tactical tips for the Trent revolve around reading the flow. Look for crease lines where fast and slow water meet, downstream ends of islands, bridge runs and the tails of weir pools. For barbel, use robust gear: 1.5–2.0 lb test curve rods, 10–12 lb mainline and reliable hooks in sizes 8–12. Feed small but often with pellets and hemp via a cage or open-end feeder, casting regularly to build a tight area. For bream and skimmers, introduce an initial balling of groundbait packed with micro pellets and chopped worm, then top up with a feeder.

Lure and predator fishing around Nottingham is productive on both the Trent and the canal network. In coloured water, use noisy or high-vibration lures, such as spinnerbaits and rattling crankbaits, for pike and zander. In clearer conditions, scale down to 7–10 cm soft plastics on jig heads, worked slowly along the bottom near drop-offs, moorings and marinas. Perch often sit under cover; vertical jigging or drop-shot rigs around boats and bridge pilings can be particularly effective.

With flowing rivers, steady canals and well-managed commercials all within a short drive, Nottingham offers year-round, mixed-method fishing that rewards anglers who adapt to conditions, choose the right venue for the season, and refine their presentation to match local pressure.
