The River Erewash Restoration Project
The River Erewash Restoration Project was established in January 2008. The long term aim of the project is to restore the River Erewash as a wild trout stream. The Erewash has been know to hold a stock of wild trout in the past. The trout fishing rights in the 19th century were owned by the Rev. Joseph Jackson of Cloud House in Sandiacre, and were later willed to Dame Borlace Warren of Stapleford Hall. There have been reports and rumours of trout being caught from the Erewash in recent years.

Just a quick note to wish you well with this ambitious but ultimately achievable project. I spent a large part of my childhood in Sawley so I am very well acquainted with the Erewash and it's tribs. I only wish I lived a little closer so that I could give a helping hand.
Best wishes,
Adrian.
im really glad someone has decided to clean up the erewash.its a great little river that deserves to be sorted out and stocked(not just with trout i hope)for the younger generation to learn about river fishing
