In
1970, two long established Exeter angling clubs; the “Exonia
Angling Association” and “City of Exeter Angling Association”
amalgamated and became one; the new “Exeter & District
Angling Association” was borne (E&DAA). The obvious
result of this amalgamation saw not only a large membership under
the one name but also additional waters for local anglers to fish.
The Association membership comprises of pleasure, match and specimen
anglers, and as such, our waters reflect all styles of coarse
angling, whether it be small seclude ponds, or one of our prolific
rivers such as the Exe, all however, offer excellent, affordable
fishing.
The
E&DAA now controls over 26 miles of fishing in and around
the Exeter area, covering canal, ponds and rivers. The Associations
aim is to provide low-cost, varied fishing for local anglers,
this is confirmed by the Associations relatively low adult membership
fee’s of only £36 per annum, so as to encourage juniors,
a nominal junior membership fee of only £5.00 per annum
has been introduced. Association membership currently stands at
over 1,000 full, junior and temporary anglers.
The
newest addition to our portfolio of waters being our Kia Ora fishery
- Cullompton, first opened in 2003; it has since undergone a heavy
stocking programme, these stocks are being furth er
added to on a regular basis. A direct result of the club’s
policy of high fish densities, Kia Ora now produces good year-round
catches and is rapidly gaining the reputation as the club’s
premier water.
In addition to the club’s
many coarse fisheries, unusually for an angling club, the Association
also owns the game and coarse fishing rights on part of the River
Exe (Weirfield fishery) and as such offers Salmon and trout fishing
to its members.
For the specimen pike and carp
angler, perhaps the best venue being the Exeter Ship Canal, with
pike in excess of 30lb and carp to 40lb plus, whilst not an easy
water, the rewards can be great for the dedicated specialist angler
(see carp/pike anglers page). As a point of historical Interest,
the 6-mile long canal was constructed in 1563 and the first ship
canal to be built in Britain.
The
match fishing side of the Association is a buoyant one, with regular
open matches held year-round. In addition, the Association, has
an active inter-association section with matches being held on
our, and neighbouring clubs waters in Devon and Somerset.
For
a complete list of Association waters, refer to the waters section
of the website, or your handbook.
