About us

While our roots have always been firmly planted in the currents of our local rivers, we recognize that the sport is changing. The boom of commercial fisheries has drawn many away from the riverbank, resulting in a natural dip in our membership. Despite this shift, the Federation continues to champion the unique skill and heritage of river angling, maintaining premier stretches for those who still value the challenge of moving water.

Looking to the Future

The Committee is currently in the process of revitalising our fisheries. Our primary goal is to improve access across all Federation waters, ensuring that every member—with a particular focus on our disabled anglers—can enjoy a high-quality fishing experience with ease.

We continue to host our popular Winter League on the Nottingham Canal, providing consistent competition through the colder months.
