Mitre Angling Club

Mitre Angling Club was established in 1967 when it had fishing on a single Pennine reservoir. Nowadays Mitre Angling Club provides outstanding quality river fishing on thirteen miles of rivers and streams, including stretches of the Calder, Ribble, Wharfe and Doe, and on three reservoirs, all in beautiful surroundings in the Lancashire and Yorkshire countryside.

Mitre Angling Club members are predominantly fly fishermen, although opportunities exist for bait fishing on selected waters. Fishing is for brown trout, rainbow trout, grayling, coarse fish, and some salmon and sea trout.

The club is relatively small, with an establishment of 130 members, so there is never a problem of overcrowding.

No matter whether you prefer the challenge of small streams, the comfort of larger rivers, or stillwaters, there is something for you. If you are new to fly fishing, more experienced club members are always willing to help you. Mitre Angling Club featured in Flyfishing and Flytying magazine's "Angling Club of the Month" article in May 2017 - click the link to read the article...

Members pay an annual membership subscription of £225 plus an initial joining fee of £75 (2026 rates). For the amount, quality and variety of water we offer, giving year round angling, this represents exceptional value.

• Members may register juniors under 16 years of age to fish FREE as Junior Members, on the understanding that they accompany those young people and are responsible for their safety and conduct
• Members may register young persons aged 16-24 as Intermediate Members on payment of an annual subscription of £50
• Members partner's pay just HALF membership fees

Mitre Angling Club is a friendly, welcoming club, holding light-hearted fly fishing competitions for members during the fishing season, regular get-togethers and annual trophy presentations. At our annual subs meeting there are fly tying demonstrations and talks by well known anglers. Members will receive regular newsletters to keep them informed and involved in club matters.
