Great Club with Plenty of Choice

I’ve really enjoyed being part of Weston Angling Association. There’s a wide mix of waters to fish, from the drains to the river, and it’s always friendly on the bank.

— James Holloway

Brilliant Junior Coaching

My daughter started at the coaching sessions this year and the coaches have been fantastic. She learned the basics quickly and had a huge smile catching her first roach.

— Emma Richards

Friendly Matches and Community Spirit

The adult matches are run really well, and there’s always good banter. Even if you don’t win, you come away feeling part of the club. Highly recommend joining.
