SAA Open Match Fixtures and other clubs' bookings

Welcome to the Scunthorpe Angling Club match scene. If you fish matches or fancy giving it a go, we are the club for you. Match fishing is in our DNA. Throughout the year we run a series of Open matches. In April, May & June  held on the Stainforth & Keadby Canal, whilst in the autumn & winter months the River Ancholme is our venue of choice. The winter matches on the R Ancholme are held on either the Cake Mills or Springs sections according to river conditions.

We love our matches, and we want you to join us. Even if you have never fished a match, you’ll find we’re the friendliest of friendly clubs, so why not give it a go?

There are individual prizes for each match plus overall League prizes, best 6 results to count.

Open matches cost £20, payable on the day but you must book in advance, contact Mike Storey via WhatsApp on 07717748523.
