The ATAA was established in 1876.

It has exclusive fishing rights to many rivers and brooks to the south of Bath and is one of the oldest fishing clubs in the country.

 

The club has extensive fishing rights on the Midford, Wellow and Cam Brooks as well as the Somerset Frome and Bristol Avon.

 

A whole range of fishing experiences are offered, including:

​

• Superb fly fishing for wild brown trout throughout the catchment area. Strictly catch and release for all wild fish.

• Fly fishing for trickle-stocked rainbow trout, on selected beats, thus ensuring that our members enjoy superb fly fishing throughout the season.

• Winter grayling fishing on the Midford Brook.

• Coarse fishing offering a variety of species throughout our exclusive waters, including barbel, roach, perch, dace, bream, pike and carp as well as most indigenous British freshwater species.​

​

The Association works closely with the Environment Agency, Bristol Avon Rivers Trust, The Wild Trout Trust and other organisations to improve river habitats and encourage natural fishing breeding populations.

​

The Association is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee and run by volunteers.

 

You must be a current member of the Association to obtain access to parts of this website.
