Closed Season

Your Committee have decided that with immediate effect, there will NOT be a closed season on our waters. To clarify, current members will now be able to fish right through to 1st June 2026 (there will be NO closed season during April / May 2026).

The rules regarding access to Grafham Grange School still apply.

This change to the rules is permanent and and will apply to all seasons going forward.

Membership of The Society will still be based on annual permits running from the 1st June of one year to the 31st May of the following year.

Please note. Due to this change, the work carried out by members of the Fishery Management Team (FMT), bank parties which are normally carried out in the closed season, will now take place during the angling year. As a consequence, although the FMT will try to minimise any disruption, there may be occasions when one of the ponds are closed or an angler may be requested to move swims should access to their swim is required by such work parties.

Keepnets

The use of keepnets is now banned on ALL society waters.
