EMTFA is a friendly association for anyone who enjoys fishing for trout, talking about trout fishing, tying flies, talking about tying flies, eating good food and drinking! EMTFA regularly hold events at the following waters:
Grafham Water.
Grafham Water is run by Anglia Water, The fishing lodge is situated in the village of West Perry approximately 3 miles from the Buckden roundabout on the A1.
The Reservoir was opened as a trout fishery 1966 and quickly gained the reputation of being the countries number one trout fishery.
East Midlands Trout Fishers Association has held club events on the water since the club was formed in 1967. As well as holding club competitions we hold a number of fishing days for members and guests.
Grafham is a premier competition water, which hosts a number of national competitions each year. Over recent seasons the fishing at Graham has been superb, in the early part of the year nymphs worked extremely well from both the bank and boats.
Pulling mini lures including the "blob" on sinking lines has won many matches and is a deadly method. Later in the year dry flies work very well from both the bank and boat. During the last couple of months of the season fish at Grafham grow at a phenomenal rate and often feed ravenously on fry, which provide very exciting fishing and accounts for some very large fish.
East Midlands Trout Fishers Association members fish Grafham very regularly; through an informal network of contacts members can usually quickly find out what happened where yesterday.
