Today there are 11 associated clubs varying from the small (50 members) to big (over 1500 members).

The association over the years has struck up a series of deals and agreements with local land owners to obtain the fishing rights to over 6 miles of the river at varying locations along it’s length.

The association has been instrumental in stocking the river over the years and was the prime mover in getting barbel introduced in the early 1990s from which today has seen the river produce some exceptional large fish, with many double figure fish present.
