ST MICHAEL FLY FISHERS

The coming year is a historical one for St Michael Fly Fishers as it will be our 40th anniversary year since our formation as part of Marks and Spencer Sports and Social club in 1985. We are planning a number of special events, prizes and subsidies for these, most notably at Rockbourne in April. What this space and our Facebook page for updates.

​

Myself and the committee have strived to make it as fair as possible for members in the selection of events for the 2025 season. We have scheduled a variety of locations from Banbury in Oxfordshire, Canterbury in Kent, Eastbourne in Sussex and many in Dorset and Hampshire to provide an equitable spread of venues. As a small club we always have to consider meeting the booking criteria for these fisheries, usually a minimum group size of 20 for the larger venues, but occasionally 15 for the smaller.  Unfortunately, failure to meet these objectives can lead to losing exclusive use or paying for the member shortfall, so increasing our club membership is crucial to retaining our ability to visit a number of beautiful fishing lakes. In the last year we have managed to achieve these objectives in all cases and ensured unimpeded fishing at the some of the best venues in the south of England. 

 

As an ageing club, we need to constantly refresh the membership, and encourage all existing members to help introduce new members. Any club member that introduces a new fishing enthusiast, who commits to a year's membership, will in return receive a 50% discount on their own membership fee!
