Welcome to the RWAS website.

We are a medium sized fishing club with a membership of around 150 anglers. Two well stocked waters are available to our members, both situated within 3 miles of Rochdale town centre.

We are now full members of the Angling Trust. Should anyone wish to have individual membership as well as club membership application forms are available from Barry Watkins. More information is available at The Angling Trust website.

Day ticket anglers are welcome providing they are accompanied by a senior member of the society. Tickets must be purchased in advance, by the member, from Rochdale Angling Centre at a cost of £5. Members are allowed two day ticket guests per session.

Keepnets are now allowed all year round on both of our waters. Please ensure they are fish friendly mesh and are not to be used for any longer than 5 hours.

Due to the on going problem we have with poachers, members will be asked to leave society waters if they cannot produce their membership card. Please also display your orange or blue membership disc.

To ensure The Society is managed in a fair and correct manner, rules and regulations must be observed by ALL members. Although it is a long document, please familiarise yourself with the updated constitution to make sure you are not inadvertently breaking any of The Society's rules.

All general enquiries should be directed to our secretary, Jim Parker

The Website

This website was introduced to try to give members and potential members as much up-to-date information as possible about The Society.
The site has evolved over the last few months with more pages being added and more information being made available. You can send pictures of your latest catches or just general pictures of our waters and anglers to be included in the Photo Gallery.

Please contact us if you would like to see anything added to the website which you may think will be of interest to other members.

Get involved with the club, come to the meetings, have your say, but most importantly, enjoy your fishing and keep safe.
