About S.H.A.G.

A club rooted in local waters since 1980.

The Saracens Head Angling Group was founded by anglers who wanted to protect, enjoy, and improve the local waters they fished. Many of the founding members remain part of the club today.

We are a friendly, volunteer-run club with a mix of river, canal, and stillwater fishing. Conservation, access, and respectful angling sit at the heart of everything we do.
