Welcome to Dutch Angling club "Sportvisserij Goeree Overflakkee"

Sportvisserij Goeree Overflakkee (SGO) is de name of an angling club in the South-West part of the Netherlands, located about 50 km southern Rotterdam.
The name of our hometown is Dirksland, a small village located on the beautifull delta island Goeree-Overflakkee. Although we have lots of members fishing at the Northsea, we are mainly a freshwater angling club.

Sportvisserij Goeree Overflakkee was founded on January 1, 2007 when three different angling clubs decided to join strenghts in one new angling club. The former angling clubs were: "HSV De Viscromte" ,"HSV De Krammer"  and "HV Stellendam". The name for the new founded angling club became
"Sportvisserij Goeree-Overflakkee"

Sportvisserij Goeree-Overflakkee has 1794 registered members (2010), including 298 youth members. From all registrated members a number of 200 members are active in competition- or during recreational activities in the different divisions of Middelharnis, Oost-Flakkee, Dirksland and Goedereede. Lots of volunteers gives a helping hand within several committees for match, carp, youth and senior members.
