years old and with more to offer it's members than ever before, we
are pleased to say, we now own or lease more waters than any time
during that period.
The club provides both coarse and game fishing facilities on our
waters and at present the Club controls 7 lakes and 5 rivers, which
provide some of the
best fishing in South Wales. Our aim is to promote the sport of angling and to create,
maintain and protect freshwater fishing of all kinds.
The Club is looking forward to the future with more up and coming
events including Senior and Junior Club Match's, the annual 48 hour
Charity Match, Carp Competitions and future projects for the benefit of members of our
club.
