Fisheries

Verulam Angling is proud of the diversity and quality of it's private fisheries. We offer everything from big carp (to over 40lb), barbel, bream and pike to small river dace and chub. All our waters are maintained through regular working parties to ensure they offer the safe and comfortable fishing with nearly half of the club's annual income investing in improvements and restocking.

 

The club holds a special fisheries acquisition fund and will be pleased to consider offers of suitable waters for lease or purchase.
