The Society is one of the oldest clubs in the Town, having been founded in 1922. The Society now has over 50 members, some of whom are the children and grandchildren of the twelve founder members. Meetings are held at the Club's headquarters which are situated at the rear of the old Fishing Shop and the imperial pub. The club runs three winter leagues and a Junior league. |
The Club organises a number of competitions throughout the year, the biggest being the Filey Fishing Festival which is usually held during the first week in September. This Festival attracts anglers from all over the country and there are 79 silver cup and trophies to be won. |
As well as the annual fishing festival, Filey Brigg Sea Angling Society hold a winter league running from the first Monday in October through until the last Monday of February. The league itself is split into 3 subsections. League B is fished on an any fish basis. League A is also fished on an any fish basis. The third league is a cod only league. The winner of the leagues is the angler with the heaviest weight of fish over the league season.
