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.
Our Next Events
As the fishing at Draycote is on hold until March 2025 (see the anouncement below) match dates are on hold. The club is running one boat match in September 2024 for members only at Ravensthorpe Reservoir. Our meetings schedule will resume as planned in November 2024.
Fishing will hopefully return in 2025
As you may be aware, Draycote is currently closed, following the bankruptcy of the company running the fishery. The Club has been in regular touch with Severn-Trent regarding the re-opening of Draycote as a trout fishery and we thank Sue McIntosh, Severn-Trent Visitor Experience Lead for the following statement:
“Following a tender process, we have identified a preferred supplier for the Draycote fishery and we are currently aiming to have them in place and the fishery reopened ready for the start of the new season in March next year.”
The Club look forward to working constructively with Severn-Trent and the new leaseholder to ensure the fishing successfully resumes in 2025. We will update the website and our Facebook page as soon as we have any new information.
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.
