Welcome to Helperby & Brafferton Angling Club

Nestled in the heart of North Yorkshire, Helperby and Brafferton Angling Club offers a peaceful and rewarding angling experience for members and visitors alike. The club manages three beautiful stretches of the River Swale, renowned for its natural beauty and excellent coarse and game fishing. Whether you’re seeking the thrill of barbel and chub or simply enjoying a quiet cast along the riverbank, our waters offer something for anglers of all abilities.

In addition to our river access, members can also enjoy fishing at the tranquil Parks Pond – a well-stocked and scenic stillwater that’s ideal for both beginners and seasoned anglers looking for a more relaxed day by the water.

With a strong sense of community, respect for the environment, and a passion for angling, our club provides the perfect setting to unwind, connect with nature, and enjoy the sport we love.

Two of our stretches of the River swale can be fished on Day Ticket, and we are pleased by be able to offer online purchasing of day tickets. We also run an active season of matches, details of which can be found on the Match Calendar. Important club announcements and open match results will be posted below, so please keep an eye out for all the latest news.
