Facebook fishing

We are hoping this will provide a forum for all disciplines of our great sport to come together and share information, tactics and what is working at different venues.

This will also offer everyone the chance to have a general gossip and keep in touch.

This group will be open to all anglers within the North Notts, South Yorks and North Derbys area, whatever your capability be it absolute novice or seasoned campaigner, beach caster, match man, club angler, specimen hunter, fly caster, boat angler or simply someone who just fishes for the sheer pleasure of it.
