Our club is proud of our waters and the condition of the fish that swim in them. Stocks are maintained to provide a variety of fishing types. Care is taken to maintain healthy fix stocks. Swim comfort and access is a priority. Ongoing tasks include maintenance of swims, clearing obstructions and snags, improving selective stocking.

Details of our work parties are published on the Maldon Angling Society Facebook page. If you would like to volunteer please ask to be added to the fishery management WhatsApp group or call our Fishery Manager, Dan Gower on 07793 278430.
