Winter Fixtures
The Winter fixtures up to Christmas are below. Venues will be picked week-to-week after Christmas.
We now have a Google map to show local fishing spots, including our match venues. It needs some more work, but hopefully will be of some use to those who stumble across our website when searching for places to fish.
