Welcome to UCC Fishing Club. We're based along the River Lee, We welcome beginners through to advanced. 

About Us

Are you a UCC student interested in encountering the fauna that finds itself in Corkonian waters? Well, my friend, we are your people. At UCC Fishing & Angling Club, we offer people at all levels of ability the chance to try their hand at a practice that finds its roots going back 100,000 years..

At UCC Fishing & Angling Club, competition is cast to the wayside. Emphasis is placed on the time spent with your peers, in the embrace of nature, respecting the animals you encounter as much as you catch them. No prior experience is necessary, our culture is one of peer-to-peer learning, sharing competencies, skills and experiences. All equipment is provided. 

A major pillar of our club is accessibility. Whether you have never fished before, are a seasoned pro, an international student wishing to learn more about our island city’s waterways, you are more than welcome.

Over the course of the year, we will organise fishing-adjacent social occasions, build on our camaraderie and allow members to mingle and form friendships. These events may be in the form of movie nights, beach/river cleanups, and a summertime sea safari. 

UCC Fishing & Angling Club is not only about developing your fishing skills, it also acts as a relief from the stresses of academic life. If you are the type who might like getting outside and seeing what bites, join us today; We would love to have you on board.
