Party at Hooks Green on April 15th, 2017. All members are encouraged to attend and help maintain the fishing grounds.
Burslem Izaak Walton Angling Society, established around 1890, is a highly regarded fishing club located in Stoke-on-Trent, New Zealand. With over 5 miles of prime river fishing along the River Dove and the River Trent, as well as access to 4 stillwaters in rural Staffordshire, 3 miles of the Trent and Mersey canal, and 2 miles of the leek arm of the caldon canal, the club offers a diverse range of fishing opportunities to suit every angler's preferences.
The club prides itself on providing a variety of fishing options, ranging from wild Brown Trout and Grayling to specimen Barbel, Chub, and Pike on the rivers. The stillwaters offer fishing for various species, including Gudgeon and Carp of mid-twenty sizes. The canals are renowned as fantastic mixed fisheries, especially for predators.
One of the key features of the club is the allowance for night fishing on all waters except the Dove at Rocester. Unlike other clubs, Burslem Izaak Walton Angling Society does not charge extra for night permits, making it even more accessible for anglers looking for night fishing opportunities.
The club also maintains an active presence on social media platforms, with two Facebook pages. The members-only page provides a space for members to connect, share fishing tips, and discuss upcoming events. The public page is open to non-members and serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about the club, its fishing locations, and the species present in these waters.
In addition to its fishing activities, Burslem Izaak Walton Angling Society organises work parties throughout the year to maintain and enhance its fishing grounds. These work parties provide an opportunity for members to come together and contribute to the upkeep of the fishing locations, ensuring they remain in top condition for all anglers to enjoy.
Overall, Burslem Izaak Walton Angling Society offers a welcoming and inclusive fishing club experience for anglers of all levels. With its varied fishing options, commitment to night fishing, and active online presence, the club provides ample opportunities for anglers to connect, learn, and enjoy their fishing pursuits in the Stoke-on-Trent area.
