Season Ticket £
Season April 1–March 31. Full Membership (all coarse and game waters): £370 annual + £380 joining fee (joining fee waived for members' immediate family and applicants aged 18–22).

Day Ticket £
Needs verification — club offers "day memberships" for selected waters via the Catch platform (gocatch.fish); the club does not say whether these include the Derwent.
Night Fishing
Coarse with Night Permit ticket (£105) adds "Night fishing on Lower Derwent, Dr's Surgery, Darley Dale". "Lower Derwent" is not defined on the site; Borrowash is the club's lowest Derwent water, so this is assumed — confirm with the club.
Where To Buy
