RFODAC runs matches and work parties on regular occasions, please feel free to come and join us, we are always keen to see new faces.

 

Annual Membership is available for all of our waters, concessions are available and Day Tickets are available from local angling shops & on the bank from our Bailiffs.

 

We have launched an appeal to fund fishery maintenance & Fishing 4 Kids.

 

The target we are looking to raise to complete essential fishery maintenance is set at £20,000, the amount required to finance the complete setting up and establishment of all legal requirements & necessary equipment & training is £5,000, this is NOT a fortune and we are keen to complete all works that need doing.

 

Please visit our Fundraising page for futher information.

We are also looking for Junior Match Angler's with a view to forming Junior teams to represent the club, please use the Contact Form to find out more info.

Royal Forest of Dean Angling Club would like to inform the Membership that the club is in no way connected with or affilliated to Pukka Squirrel Baits, they are a bait company that have used our facilities in the past, but they are in no way endorsed or recommended by the club.

Members and interested people who enjoy social media, feel free to join our Facebook Group.

The Group is moderated by a dedicated team of Administrators, simply click on the Facebook Logo on the right to be taken to our Group. 

Today (24/11/2017) the club took delivery of two lovely Mirror Carp in excess of 20lb in weight.

These wonderful specimens were bred by the famous VS Fisheries and are from a high quality strain.

 

They are an excellent example of the ongoing restocking plan the club has for it's waters by the fishery management team.

 

James Baynham was on hand to assist with the release of the fish into Steam Mills Lake.

The fishery management team is continuing it's work with lots of plans for our other waters, but as usual Members are required to assist with working parties. 

 

More pictures of these beauties are in the Gallery.

Fishing 4 Kids is an organisation that teaches youngsters from the age of 4 to 16 years in the required skills to enjoy Coarse Fishing.

 

We are currently looking to recuit children within this age group to form the Junior section of Royal Forest of Dean Angling Club, this is currently a working partnership, which we have great expectations for, in the future.

 

See www.fishing4kids.org.uk for further information.

The Club is an active participant in Operation Leviathan, it is a nationwide campaign to protect our fisheries from Fish Theft, it is being run by the Angling Trust and the Environment Agency & Police forces all across England.

 

All of our waters are regularly patrolled by our appointed Water Bailiffs, the Angling Trust Voluntary Bailiff Service, along with regular patrols by Environment Agency Fishery Officers & the local Police.
