Club Rules

 

********** Update 3rd May 2023  **********

 

As a result of the AGM last night, the following changes will come into immediate effect:

 

2023/24 Club Pricing

Specimen Club Book (3 rods) £22.00

Full Membership Book £16.00

OAP Concession Book £11.00

Pike Fishing

Following on from increased temperature rises in the early months of the season a majority vote meant that Pike Fishing would be unavailable on all club waters until 1st October 2023. So a total ban on pike Fishing from 16th June to !st October will come into immediate effect on our waters.

This has been implemented to try to preserve the welfare of pike in these rising temperatures.

Please note that anyone purchasing a new season ticket or membership should now use the Club’s new bank account details as follows:

 

sort code 60-83-01 account number 20461946..

 

 

 

********** Update 18th May 2022 **********

 

A pre-season meeting of the Welney Angling Club will take place at the William Marshal Centre in Welney on Tuesday 24th May 2022. Timings are 7.15pm for 7.30pm meeting.

 

If attending, please be aware that no access is possible before 7.15pm due to other commitments in the building earlier in the evening.

 

We look forward to seeing you there.

 

********** Update 20th June 2021 **********

 

Regrettably, there has been a fish kill on the River Delph with dead fish either side of the road bridge. Fish ranging from 1/2lb perch to 5lb Bream, currently about 20+ fish. Reported to the EA hotline this morning and hopefully they will respond in due course. Please report any further incidents direct to the EA on 0800 807060

 

 

 

********** Update 16th June 2021 **********

 

Rule change


As from the 16th of June 2021 no night fishing will be allowed on any of the Welney Angling Club waters. This rule change was driven by the very poor behaviour of a small number of anglers. See all club rules in the membership card.
