Simple Match Fishing Forum

I'm looking for a club in Leicester that I can join and fish the odd match, I havent fished in near on 15 years though the bug has never gone away, I cant commit to any teams etc because of my disability and not knowing from one day to the next how I'm going to be I just want to start fishing again, I loved junior match fishing when I was younger [ I'm only 37 now lol ]
If anyone knows of any clubs please let me know,
Kind regards,
Paul...

Welcome csmpaul1

Perhaps Joffie might be able to point you in the right direction when he clocks this in the morning - even if not 'with a club' - there's plenty of matches arranged in your neck of the woods to go at

Thanks for that TK hope so..

Welcome to the forums. Hope Joff can sort you out

hello mate welcome to the site
there are plenty of clubs in the leicestershire area but i'm not sure what you are looking for commercial fishing ,river,canal or lakes perhaps you are looking for open matches
what part of the leicester area are you mate
i'm sure we can help you

Hi I live near the Blackbird pub just off Anstey lane, I dont mind where the matches are providing I can get to the peg without too much fuss, I sometimes have to get around in my wheelchair, not always, I do try to walk as much as I can but I wouldn't be able to carry my kit too far, I will eventually buy a trolley of some sort when I can afford to, finances are quite tight now I cant work so I have to stick to a budget,
I'm not much for day ticket fishing, theres just something about having a keepnet in the water and the weigh-in at the end of the day that makes it more enjoyable which is why I want to do a bit of match fishing again, on top of that it will get me out of the house a bit more,

HI paul,

I have a trolley doing nothing in my shed,you can gladly have it if it helps you out.pm me your postal address and i will get it to you.

hi paul right you need good parking and easy access to you pegs
Quorn AS which covers the river soar from mountsorrel to loughborough and has a 3mile stretch of the grand union canal,now a lot of this is not easy access for a wheelchair but the canal and some parts of the river are .around barrow bridge on the river and canal its not a great distance waterside pub at mountsorrel again easy parking and with the Quorn book you get a Leicester mal book and they have a commercial lake called fish pool as well as the canal near the navigation pub at barrow again good access
bennetts of mountsorrel will be able to help you more and match catch at syston also if you do like commercials there is always the glebe fisheries and roy marlow caters very well for wheelchairs the only draw back is you can only use nets in the matches .the glebe fishery has loads of lakes and do run matches for members most weeks
there are matches at market harborough again there are some longer walks there
but i'm sure they will give you allthe help you need
wigston AS ,Knighton AC ,and i think there is many more
