Palmers Green Angling Society

 

ABOUT US

Formed in 1948, Palmers Green Angling Society originally catered for anglers in the North London area by organising train and coach outings to the River Thames and River Great Ouse. As times have changed, so have we. Other angling interests have developed and we now cater for the needs of all coarse anglers – expert or novice, matchman, specimen hunter or pleasure angler, young or old. Additionally, we have active trout and sea fishing sections catering for the all-round angler.
We offer angling at a variety of venues: rivers, lakes, gravel pits and canals.

ORGANISED OUTINGS

Coarse Fishing

Open to all, regular outings are arranged, visiting both local waters and fisheries further afield. Our intention is to go where the membership choose, endeavouring to ensure the best possible prospect of a good day’s fishing. The Society presents many trophies, which are competed for throughout the season, always on a friendly but competitive basis. You will receive full details of the season’s outings after joining the Society.

Sea Fishing

We have a keen sea-fishing contingent within the Society for whom outings are organised. Fishing from both shore and boat at productive marks around the South and East coasts; those travelling usually share cars to reach the venues. Tackle is often available for newcomers to saltwater angling. Full details of sea fishing trips are available to all members on request.

Trout Fishing

As more of our members seem to be taking up fly-fishing, especially during the traditional close season for coarse fishing, we now arrange several outings to top trout fisheries where members can enjoy a day out together. Both expert and novice fly-fishermen are welcome to attend.

 

MEETINGS AND SOCIALS

Monthly Members Meetings

Meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of each month at the The Royal British Legion, Holtwhites Hill in Enfield at 7:45pm. These meetings provide a good source of information on the Society’s fishing and are the forum for debate on both local and nationally important angling topics. Guest speakers and specials presentations are periodically arranged for your enjoyment. All members are welcome and are encouraged to attend.

Social Events

We hold an Annual Dinner where successful members are presented with their trophies, but all members are welcome. Additionally, our Annual Fur & Feather, held each December, consists of a morning fishing competition followed by a traditional Christmas Lunch in a nearby hostelry. This has proven to be our most popular outing of the year and is always great fun.

Work Parties

Care and maintenance of fisheries is an important aspect of our Society’s duties. All fit and able members are expected to assist in whatever way they can during the traditional close season, when all of our fisheries currently remain closed to angling. Work parties are not all toil and sweat: they can be good fun. You may also gain some vital information on fish captures and productive swims from anglers with an in-depth knowledge of the fishery.

 

AFFILIATIONS

The voice of the nation’s anglers deserves to be heard by those who make decisions that affect us. Appreciating the need for angling representation, both locally and nationally, Palmers Green Angling Society is proud to be an active member of the following organisations:
