Our AGM is next Tuesday and we would like to see as many of you there as can make it. There is a change to the usual order of things as we have moved the Junior prize giving to earlier in the evening so that the youngsters can leave earlier if they have school the next day and so this will hopefully encourage more of you to attend.
Come along and share your tales of the ones that didn't get away, have a drink and a bite to eat, buy some raffle tickets and generally have an enjoyable evening
supporting your club.
If you are not a member but are considering joining us you are welcome to come along and meet us to see who we are and how the club is run, we are a friendly bunch.

We are pleased to let you know that the RFA won the tender process for the Royal Military Canal meaning that they now control from Iden Lock to Warehorne Bridge, this is approximately double the length that was previously accessible to our members.
Please note that if you are going to fish the Royal Military Canal from Iden Lock to Appledore dam we are only allowed to fish from the roadside (North) bank.
The new stretch from Appledore dam to Warehorne Bridge fishing is from the South bank.
Updated maps of this venue are now available here

Crowborough and District Angler's Association began life in 1948 when a group of young men returned from the war. Initially the club was set up to provide day trips for sea anglers but over time freshwater fishing began to play a greater role and coarse waters were added to the roster. These days the club can offer both freshwater, saltwater and some stream based Trout fishing.
The Club currently has seventeen stillwaters at eleven locations, a stretch of the River Eden, two stretches of stream fishing, silvers fishing at a 100 acre reservoir plus access to seven miles of the River Rother, as well as twelve miles of the Royal Military Canal in its' portfolio.
The majority of the stillwaters have no close season.
We have a long and well documented history, an enthusiastic and hard working Committee and some very keen junior anglers. We support, and are supported by our local tackle dealers.
Our club record fish range from 1968 to the present day.
We are easy to contact and reply to messages as quickly as we can, in 2011 we set up our own Facebook page
which has become increasingly popular amongst the members and in 2014 we set up our Twitter handle.
Contact details and links to our FB page, Twitter and Instagram are at the bottom of every page.
We run a summer series of Wednesday evening and Thursday afternoon to early evening matches for the seniors. In addition there is a Sunday series of matches for seniors that run from April to January. Junior anglers have a summer series of matches on Saturday mornings and we have matches that are just for the ladies too.
For the specimen hunters, there are competitions that run all year round.
We have many different types of membership available and details are on our membership page, we are sure to have a category that suits you, and you can join online today.
We run several "Have a go Days" through the summer as well as our annual Junior Day and we also run a buddies programme for those who are new to angling or for those who wish to improve their skills.
Check out our News page for the most up to date news about the Club.
​
We run working parties throughout the year and an extra pair of hands are always welcome.
So if this all sounds interesting to you, don't delay, sign up today!

3 STEPS TO PREVENT KHV
Anglers hold the key to stopping the spread of KHV. Here are three simple things you can do to help the cause.
1 - Let the sun do its work
Dry your nets – nets that are damp and chucked in the garage will harbour infections that can live for weeks on end. But by putting your nets out on the lawn in sunlight once you get home, you are almost guaranteed to kill any infections. If you are unable to dry your nets at home, lay them out on the bank at the fishery before your session, giving them at least 45 minutes in direct sunlight.
2 - Tend to your stink bags
Empty stink bags – the stagnant water that collects in the bottom of these can also harbour deadly bugs.
Tip the water out of your bag, making sure you do this well away from any venue so that it can’t seep in. Keep your stink bag open while you are fishing and allow the sunlight to dry it, killing all the bugs in the process.
3 - Sterilise your nets
Use net dips – hundreds of commercials insist on visitors fully submerging their keepnets in a chemical solution before they start to fish. Although there is a lot of debate as to how effective dips are in the fight against disease, there is certainly no evidence to suggest they cause harm, and when in place they should be used.
Drying your nets after they have been dipped makes it even more likely that all bugs will be killed.
