Welcome to the Verulam Angling Club Trout Section
The VAC has for many years organised fly-fishing for trout at its Riverside Road fishery, originally during the traditional coarse close season but more recently, a fixed period from February to May.
The 2010 will season run for 10 weeks from Friday the 26th of February until Friday 7th May. Members with season tickets fish the same day each week, or alternative week, and this can sometimes be varied by prior arrangement.
Fishing is fly-only and you must be a VAC Club Member. Concessionary membership for Trout Season only is available but full or half VAC membership may be better value.
The cost of a full season ticket is £90 for 10 days fishing on the same day each week and a half season ticket, to fish 5 days, every other week on the same day, is £50. Flexible more expensive floating tickets, allowing any day in the week, but only once per week or every other week, when available, cost £115 and £60 respectively. Day tickets to VAC Members cost £15 and accompanied guest tickets are £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 using barb-less fly hooks only with no fish, once caught, to be returned. Other rules are printed on tickets and posted on the site notice board.
During the season we organize two free events available to season ticket holders; a charity match on our last Friday and a Fun Day at seasons end designed to remove as many trout as possible. After the season ends, we arrange, from June to November, four Away Days to other fisheries which have been very popular.
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.
