Abercorn Angling Club

Big shout out to all anglers! James, your friendly organiser at Abercorn Angling Club, wants to send a friendly reminder about some brilliant opportunities on the horizon.

Abercorn Angling Club, nestled in the lovely Johnstone, offers a fantastic chance to fish the scenic River Gryffe and River Cart. The club, with its long-standing history, is all about preserving nature while making sure you have a cracking fishing experience.

James has lined up a brilliant array of events for the 2022/2023 season. Competitions, open days, and educational workshops – there's a bit of everything for everyone. Great chance to sharpen those skills and meet fellow enthusiasts.

Sustainability is key for James and the team. New rules are in place this season to ensure we look after fish stocks and keep the habitat thriving for future generations.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or just dipping your toes, Abercorn Angling Club has got you covered. Memberships and permits are available, giving you access to some exclusive prime spots along the River Gryffe and the River Cart.

Not a member? No worries! James has sorted exchange tickets for non-members, so you can still enjoy the fantastic fishing opportunities on offer, even if it's just for a short while.

Catch and release - it's what we love here. The club stresses ethical fishing, making sure we all prioritise the well-being of our fishy friends. Proper handling techniques help ensure the local fishing environment stays healthy and buzzing with life for all.

James also loves a good collaboration. Abercorn Angling Club gets involved with various initiatives and organisations like the British Disabled Angling Association and the Clyde River Foundation, promoting inclusivity and conservation in the sport.
