  • Poachers
    We have had reports that poachers have been seen fishing our water at Healey Dell and possibly taking fish for "the pot". ALL members are asked to be vigilant and should ask any other "anglers" for their membership cards. DO NOT compromise your safety.

  • Membership
    Applications and renewals are now being taken for 1st Jan 2012 entries. See membership page for more details.

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. Keepnets are banned for a period of 4 weeks following any stocking.

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
