Welcome to Verulam Angling Club Trout Section
THE VAC has for many years organised fly-fishing for trout at its Riverside Road fishery during the traditional coarse close season.
The 2009 season ran for 10 weeks from Friday the 27th of February until Friday 8th May. Members fish the same day each week and this can sometimes be varied by prior arrangement.
Over 1200 trout were stocked for the 2009 season. Stocks of Rainbows were introduced approximately every two weeks and range from 2lb to over 4lb.
Fishing is fly-only and you must be a VAC Club Member. Concessionary membership for Trout Season only is available but full VAC membership is best value.
The cost of a full season ticket was £90 for 10 days and a half season ticket £50.
Day tickets to VAC Members cost £15 and accompanied guest tickets were £22.
Ticket Prices are reviewed Annually and announced at the Trout Section Annual Meeting held in January each Year.
There is a strict 3 Fish limit per day.
For Season ticket enquiries contact Neil Roberts.
During the summer months a number of day trips are organised to quality commercial fisheries, giving members a chance to fish together and get to know one another
