Welcome to the DFFA website
Welcome to the Draycote Fly-Fishers Association website. We use this site to provide information about what events we run and how to get the best out of your fishing visits to Draycote Water.
Note that we don't actually run the fishery - most of us fish there on a regular basis.
We have built this website to show what we do and share our knowledge about how to make the most of a trout-fishing visit to Draycote Water. We encourage you to explore our website by using the tabs at the top of the page. Below we have contact details if you have any enquiries or wish to join us.
Anglian Water have confirmed they will be opening the fishery at Draycote on the 1st May 2025. 9,000 rainbows have already been stocked into Draycote ahead of opening day. Boat and bank tickets can be purchased on the Anglian Water Parks website. Click on the link below to access this.
For the time being the Draycote Lodge does not have a telephone number - the old number no longer works. Anglers wishing to arrange tickets by phone can call any of the other Anglian Water Trout Fishing offices. Their numbers are:
Pitsford 01604 781350
Rutland 01780 868441
Grafham 01480 810531
Our Next Events
Our winter meetings at the Draycote Social Club have now ended until November 2025. We meet informally over the summer at the Dunchurch Social Club on the second Tuesday of each month. (7.30 pm)
DFFA will be at the fishery on 1st May for opening day. We have a large number of anglers fishing from boat and bank that day. See you there!
Car Access for Anglers.
All anglers now need to put their car registration number into the system using the keypad in the lodge. You'll need to do this each time you fish.
Bank anglers need to get the lodge to let you through the barrier. Drive up to the keypad, scroll down using the arrow key (you'll need to press this three times) and then press the call button. Someone in the lodge will pick up the phone and raise the barrier for you.
Club Caps now available
Club caps are now available to buy at our members meetings and matches. Member's price is £10 per cap. Non-member's can purchase one at £15.

Thank-you
A big thanks to all our members who spent money on our charity auction night on 12th March. We raised £350 for the Air Ambulance from the proceeds of the event.
