Midlands club details come from each club's own website on the date shown. Cards marked “Directory listing” come from The Better Angler's club directory and haven't been checked against the club yet. “Details uncertain” means we couldn't find a current official source. Prices and waters change each season, so always check with the club before you go. “Area” map links only show the general area.
Licences: in England and Wales you need an Environment Agency rod licence from age 13. Scotland has no rod licence, but you still need permission or a permit for the water. Northern Ireland needs a licence from DAERA or the Loughs Agency as well as a permit. Run a club or spotted something out of date? We'd love to hear from you.
