Stoke-on-Trent Angling Society is open for membership!
The Society was founded in 1899 by a group of dedicated anglers who fished
Stanley Reservoir in Stoke, Staffordshire. Today the Society has grown to be one
of the more prominent fishing organisations in the UK with members, made up of
seniors, ladies, juveniles, and disabled members from all over the country.
The mission of Stoke-on-Trent Angling Society is to manage, serve and promote
angling. To assist members and participants in their various forms of
involvement in angling. To adhere to all the laws of angling and to encourage
and facilitate the involvement of as many people as possible in angling
activities.
The Society controls fishing on some of the NW regions most prestigious venues
like Bolesworth Castle Estate, Astbury Country Park, and two idyllic stretches
of the River Dove, with numerous private waters to suit the general coarse,
match, pleasure and specimen angler.
We have also entered into a partnership whereby our members are able to fish
Rudyard Lake and Knypersley Reservoir on the Society card. Stanley Pool remains
one of the most productive Big Pike waters in the country.
For the general pleasure angler you will find great sport on; Ellenhall (with
eleven pools to go at !) and Bolesworth Castle which offer consistent catch
returns of Roach, Rudd, Crucians, King Carp, Tench and Bream, and remain very
popular for our young anglers and those new to angling. The Society also runs a
programme of matches on all of its waters, which provide excellent returns
whether experienced or inexperienced.
