Guest angler invitation week

The Club is trialling a new initiative this season. From 16th to 22nd June inclusive, any ATAC member can bring along one guest to fish the Club waters free of charge. The guest angler must be fishing with the Club member at all times and must adhere to all Club rules. EA rod licenses are required to fish and these are available on a daily rate if the guest does not hold a rod license. Note that a migratory trout and salmon license is needed to fish the Aeron - these are £8 per day, £23 per 8 days or £72 per season (concession season £48, juniors 12-16 £5 per season and children under 12 can fish for free).

Unfortunately no entries were received for any of the river competitions on account of the poor fishing conditions and low catch rate for the season.
