Offord and Buckden Angling Society was formed in the early 1800’s, and until 1959 benefitted from the Great Northern Railway Station at Offord which, being only 100 yards from the club’s water on the River Great Ouse in Cambridgeshire, provided easy access to anglers from the north and south. Some of our members remember travelling on the train with their grandparents and fishing for Chub alongside the great Dick Walker.

Today, the club has access to approximately seven kilometres of top class fishing on the River Great Ouse in Cambridgeshire, between Grafham Pumping Station at Offord Cluny, and Brampton. Whether your preference is for still water or a fast flowing stream, a small intimate river or one that’s wide, languid and deep, we have it.

Catches include barbel to 11 lb; bream to 10 lb; carp to 30 lb plus; chub to 7 lb; perch to 3 lb plus, pike to 20 lb plus; roach to 1 lb; tench to 5 lb, and zander to 7 lb.

· Minimise the amount of bait used to prevent water quality issues.

· Keep handling to a minimum and always over a wet unhooking mat.

· Rest fish fully before release

· Avoid using keepnets where possible.

· Keep an eye on the water and report any signs of fish in distress as algal blooms can cause dissolved oxygen levels to crash.

Angler Welfare

· Stay hydrated and take regular shade breaks

· Wear a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen

· Know the signs of heat exhaustion.

A little extra care goes a long way in warm weather.

Look after the fish, look after yourselves and others, and enjoy your time on the bank.
