Match Fishing 2010/2011
Rochdale Walton Angling Society run trophy matches throughout the season on both of our club waters and on some prolific away venues.
We always welcome newcomers to match fishing, we have a laugh and don't take it too seriously. The £5 pools are optional on home venues. We also run a bonus peg system at £1 per match but again, this is optional. Any member is welcome to fish the matches just for "pleasure" and if successful, will receive a trophy along with a Rochdale Angling Centre fishing voucher at the presentation night.
Please book on to away matches as soon as possible otherwise places will have to be filled by non-members of the club.
Stuart Butterworth is our match secretary and can be contacted on 07970 727 070.
Free membership and a trophy is presented to the winner of the club championship.

Chris Woodrup (pictured right) took the top spot in this seasons hard fought Superleague. A tie a the top of the table with Martin Kenrick, both on 93 points meant first place had to be decided on weight (top 10 points matches only), Chris taking the honours with 210lb 3oz against Martin's 203lb 12oz. Simon Newsham took third place with a 90 point total.
Well done to all three anglers, thankyou to all anglers who participated in the series and once again thanks to Chris Lett for running the evening sweeps.
Martin Kenrick took revenge by winning the Grand Final, contested by 6 out of the 9 eligible anglers.
