Association of Major Fly-fishing Clubs – Fishing for Invicta 2026

David Moore, Invicta AMFC co-ordinator

Invicta has been a keen supporter of the AMFC loch-style league since it was formed over 30 years ago. This friendly competition is a great way to improve our skills through fishing a variety of waters with some top-class anglers and last year an impressive 28 members fished for Invicta, more than for any other club in spite of having a smaller membership than most others.

In the 16 years I have taken part everyone has been a pleasure to fish with and working together with your opposition boat partner as a pair combines fun with a competitive edge while gaining experience and making new fishing friends.

Invicta has two teams, the A team in Group 2 and the B team in Group 3. Our A Team was again successful as runner-up in Group 2 for a second successive year with our B Team 4th in Group 3.

There will be 6 teams in Group 2 and 5 in Group 3. All three Groups compete together as teams of 4 rods in the first (Spring Association at Grafham) and last (Autumn Association at Chew)) matches and teams of 6 in the other four rounds where each Group fishes separately.

There will be more rounds away from our midlands reservoirs this year with trips to Chew, Bewl, Ladybower and Clywedog which become Invicta Club outings with the option of enjoying a practice day and an overnight stay. We share transport and B&B to keep the cost down so it’s a great chance to fish these famous venues in good company and at a modest price helped by Invicta contributing £20 each as a gesture towards your costs of representing the club at these four more distant venues.

The other 2026 venues are our popular midlands reservoirs, Grafham, Pitsford, Rutland and Draycote which Invicta rods fish regularly in our Carr Cup series. We are again fishing 7 hour matches but this year a change to purely ‘Catch and Release’ up to 12 trout (rainbows and browns) with a time bonus of 4oz per 15 minutes for finishing early.

You have the option of killing fish if your permit allows..

The club pays the entry fees so you only pay discounted fishing fees plus around £15 for a post-match meal when we celebrate success or drown sorrows. All AW Season permits are valid as usual on AW venues, so you just pay the boat fee here.

The dates and venues are on this website and e-mailed to all members.

New Invicta members must fish for the B team in their first year before they can fish for the A team which we select from our most consistent competition members but we try to give everyone the opportunity to enjoy at least one fixture in the B Team as long as they have basic competence in loch-style flyfishing.

We have a team captain for each match to coordinate practice and any accommodation and travel and share information among the team. Having a full team is vital so I hope you will take part and join in the fun of fishing in a team.

Tight Lines.

Invicta Team Performance from 2000 to 2022

Jeff Hickson has provided the historic team results for our AMFC teams which makes interesting reading. It highlights the great improvement in success of our ‘A Team’ over the years and the consistency of the A Team rod average above that of the ‘B Team’.

This is what you would expect as Invicta have a policy of encouraging new and less experienced anglers to enter this competitive, yet friendly league. In the past few seasons the ‘B Team results have also shown a marked improvement and promotion to a higher division is achievable given the very strong ‘B Team’ that we currently are able to put out.
