Reduced membership availability

As you are already aware the membership has been reduced to

due to losing the lake at Beale Park and the river Thames at

Beale Park. (see new associate membership below for river fishing)

​

Only the Thames section 3 swims at Sots Hole car park

is available to fish. Cars must be parked in Sots hole Car Park.

​

NEW Associate membership for additional river fishing

RFC has joined The Thames Valley Angling Association as an

associate member due to the loss of Beale Park which gives all membership the possibility to fish Thames Valley Angling

Association waters using your Reading Fishing Club Permit.

 

All the information on the Thames Valley Angling Association

waters  can be found in your new permits and on the

Thames Valley Angling Association website.

DRY NETS, WEIGH SLINGS, UNHOOKING MATTS ONLY

We would like to remind all our members that only DRY nets,

weigh slings, unhooking matts can be brought onto our RFC

venues.

​

There are reports of local fisheries suffering fish deaths as a

result of disease or virus spreading between fisheries.

​

Nets, weigh slings, unhooking matts should be bone dry. Before

being brought onto any RFC fisheries.

​

Preferably dried outside by the ultraviolet rays of sun, which is

the best method for killing off all bacteria, germs etc.

​

Thank you for your cooperation understanding.

RFC venues committee.
