I joined the Derwent angling club last year and did enjoy fishing the river but its not really my cup of tea. Much prefer the wide open spaces of reservoirs.
Also on the river had quite a few annoying midge bites.
The spill has not helped-hope its ok for the next season.

And as mentioned already I hope this get's sorted soon and doesn't affect further .
