Anyone wishing to take up fishing are encouraged to contact the Club who will help get you started and set you up with a buddy that can advise on equipment, river hot spots, techniques, safety and hopefully help land your first fish!

Whatever your age, gender, or ability, you can get involved in fishing. It’s a great way to connect with nature, relieve stress, and socialize with friends.
