The society says it has 9 waters; 7 are described on its website.

Club membership isn't a licence. Anyone 13 or over also needs an Environment Agency rod licence (free for 13 to 16 year olds). Do I need a licence?

Prices and waters change each season. Check with the club before you buy or fish.

Many sell club cards and day tickets, and know where the fish are.
