Skipton Angling Association

The Skipton Angling Association wants to invite all fishing enthusiasts to a local event happening at Niffany Swing Bridge. Located on the outskirts of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this fishing club offers top-notch fishing experiences for people of all ages and skill levels.

To become part of this exciting community, you can easily purchase your membership online or through postal application. The membership is valid for one year, and it expires on the 27th of February every year. As long as you're a true angler, you are eligible to join the club.

We offer two types of memberships: All Waters membership and River Aire, Canal, and Whinny Gill only membership. The rates are as follows:

- All Waters membership: For adults (17 years and above), it's £85; for OAPs*, it's £62, and for juniors, it's just £15.
- River Aire, Canal, and Whinny Gill only membership: For adults (17 years and above), it's £42, and for OAPs, it's £31.

If you're a non-member or if your membership has expired, there's an adult/OAP joining fee of £10. But fret not, existing members renewing their membership won't have to pay this fee. And guess what? Juniors don't have to pay a joining fee at all!

Now, we must inform all anglers aged 12 or above who want to fish for salmon, trout, freshwater fish, smelt, and eels in England, Wales, or the Border Esk region of Scotland that you must possess a rod and line license from the Environment Agency to abide by the law and ensure fairness among fellow anglers. You can conveniently purchase this license online.

Here's a little extra perk for you: from 1st October to 26th February each year, full adult membership is available at half price, although the joining fee remains the same. However, to qualify for the OAP membership, individuals must have held a full-rate membership for at least one year.

For more details on how to purchase a special application form for half-price full adult membership or if you have any questions about OAP membership, please don't hesitate to contact the Skipton Angling Association via email. We're here to help and make your fishing experience even more enjoyable!
