Welcome to Brookfield Fishers
Brookfield Fishers is the angling club affiliated with Hinckley Wharf CIC, dedicated to fostering a friendly and responsible fishing community in and around Hinckley, Leicestershire. We believe fishing isn’t just a hobby — it’s a way to connect with nature, meet like-minded community members, and help care for our local waterways.
Whether you’re an experienced angler or picking up a rod for the first time, Brookfield Fishers aims to provide access, support, and camaraderie. The club encourages anglers of all ages and abilities to get involved, underpinned by principles of sustainability, respect, and local stewardship.
What We Offer
-
Accessible fishing for the community: Brookfield Fishers keeps membership open to locals who share a respect for the waterway and a passion for angling. We aim to make fishing accessible and welcoming — whether you’re a weekend-angler, a family looking for a wholesome outdoor activity, or someone wanting to learn the ropes.
-
Community & social fishing sessions: We organise regular angling meetups and events, offering a chance to meet other members, share skills, and enjoy the sport together. Fishing becomes more than a solitary hobby — it becomes a social, community-based experience.
-
Waterway care & environmental responsibility: As part of Hinckley Wharf CIC’s broader mission, Brookfield Fishers supports responsible fishing practices, litter-free banks, and respect for wildlife. We believe that enjoying the water should go hand-in-hand with protecting it.
-
Support for newcomers and families: New anglers are welcome — whether young or old. We encourage responsible, ethical fishing and, where required, guidance on safe practices, rod licences, and angling norms.
