Thanks for looking in on us, a brief introduction…
Founded in 1938, in 2013 we are celebrating 75 years of providing exceptional, affordable angling in the South of England. The ongoing success of our Club has not only been as a result of the list of well known waters under its control and the exceptional fish that they have (and continue to produce), but also the friendly club atmosphere that is very much a part of being a Christchurch Angling Club member.
With regular coarse and game fishing matches, meetings, coaching days and fishing events being held throughout the year, anglers who like a good social side to their fishing are well catered for. We also have many members who enjoy their fishing in quiet tranquillity, away from the masses, for whom the abundance of off the beaten track places to fish are plentiful.
With over thirty five waters available on the Club book, there is an absolute wealth of fishing to be enjoyed by both coarse and game anglers alike. The Club’s waters provide a wide and varied choice of venues to fish and species to fish for. The aim of the Club is to provide high quality and affordable fishing, whatever your preferences.
Conservation
Working alongside all of the main angling and fishery-related conservation groups, the Club plays a major part in the upkeep of habitat that fish, wildlife and anglers can all continue to enjoy.
Coaching and Education
Young anglers form an important part of the Club’s forward thinking and the coaching and education of our young anglers is high on our list of priorities. The Club has a large team of coaches and instructors in both coarse and game angling disciplines, which allows us to organise and run coaching and teaching events for all its anglers, both young and old alike……do join us.
