East Anglia Fly Fishing (EAFF)

Welcome to the East Anglian Fly Fishing Club!
East Anglia Fly Fishing is a newly formed club in early 2023 with coarse fish as its core target. Fly fishing for coarse fish is a fast-growing part of the hobby as anglers are looking for new species to try or looking to try a new method of fishing. Coarse fishing generally is much cheaper per year than your typical game membership or day ticket for some. On top of that, if you planned it right; you can be fishing a river for almost all year round! April to Oct for game fish and on to coarse till mid Feb.
What is coarse fly fishing? There are around 25 species of coarse fish commonly fished for in the UK, but the most popular targets for Fly are Pike, Zander, Perch, Catfish, Grayling, Carp, Chub, Tench, Bream & smaller “silvers” (Roach, Rudd, Dace). Essentially, any species that is not Game or Sea.

We have a stretch of the Little Ouse river as well as a 2 acre stillwater (Sorry No Trout!) on our books & we are working on adding more waters as we find them. If you happen to know of a landowner/fishing rights owner who is looking to lease water in the East Anglia area? Please drop us an email and we shall investigate it.

– Will this just be a fly fishing club? Yes and strictly Catch and Release.
– Do you sell Day Tickets? No, we have decided that we want to keep things simple with an annual membership that all starts/expires on the same dates each year and not sell day tickets. If you are found to be fishing one of our waters without a valid membership, You’ll be asked to join the club, once you have paid for your membership you can carry on fly fishing. If you refuse to join the club, you’ll be asked to leave the venue immediately.
– Do you hold any events? Yes we do organise several events that are open to non-members, check our website Events section for more info/dates.
– Any discounts? We do offer discounts to our members of certain shops and fisheries. The full details and how to get the discounts will be in your Welcome email. We ALSO have offered 1 other Fly Fishing club a joining discount which will be shared to those clubs members via their Members Only social media groups. If in doubt? Please contact us.
