St Ives Fish Preservation and Angling Society

St Ives Fish Preservation and Angling Society is a small friendly club.
The club’s main objective is to promote good fellowship among anglers and to provide genuine sport for its members by acquiring fishing rights from owners of private waters and occupiers of land adjoining the River Ouse, by protecting fish and restocking when necessary, by reporting evidence of pollution, and by prosecuting cases of illegal fishing, netting, taking undersized fish.

Club Matches

The club run regular Sunday matches throughout the season as well as Thursday evenings for the first 8 weeks of the season. Matches are open to all members and or day ticket holders. Taking part in matches is a great way to improve your skills by learning from other anglers. The club welcomes people who have never fished in a match before – why not give it a try!

If we receive enough interest we run Junior competitions every year with cups and prizes, sponsored by local businesses.
