Reduced membership availability

The membership this season has had to be reduced to

180 senior members due to losing the lake at Beale Park

and the upper section of the river Thames at Beale Park.

 

Reading Fishing Club has been able to secure Beale Park

Lake until the end of June 2024 so existing members and

new members can fish the lake until then.

​

From the end of June 2024 onwards only the Thames section

next to Beale Park  from the CUT down to 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.

maps and directions to Thames Valley Angling Association

river sections available for Reading Fishing Club Members

to fish.

​

Please NOTE

Membership will only be available to existing members

initially and they will need to bring a completed membership

form and their permit for the 23/24 season with them when

purchasing their new permit. Failure to bring either will result

in a refusal to sell them a new permit. 

​

Application address is on the permit application form) If you

​

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.
