ABOUT THE CLUB
The Bewl Bridge Flyfishers' Club was started in the mid 1970's, during the construction of Bewl Bridge Reservoir & before it opened to the public. It was not a forgone conclusion that Bewl was going to start life as a trout fishery, & there were strong arguments for it becoming a coarse fishery. Much lobbying by our former president, Brian Harris, carried the day & a trout fishery it has been since 1976. In the 1990’s the reservoir was renamed Bewl Water, however the club chose to retain the full name of Bewl Bridge in it's title & it has since grown to become the largest fly fishing club in the country boasting a membership that exceeds 500 & has done for over 10 years. The club is run by a committee of nine volunteers, & liaises closely with Bewl management on all matters related to fishing for trout at Bewl Water. With Bewl Bridge Flyfishers' Club also represented on two specialist separate committees, one for fishing & the other for all Bewl Water users
The club offers full annual membership for £20, less than the price of a day's trout fishing. For this members receive six copies of the much loved & looked forward to club magazine, the Bewl Angle. This is packed full of articles about how, when & where to fish at Bewl, including tactics for both boat & bank fishing, plus dates & information about events throughout the season. Some of these events will be fishing days organised by & exclusively for the membership, offering opportunities to fish with Bewl experts, to meet other members & learn more about both Bewl & our sport generally
Being a member of Bewl Bridge Flyfishers Club entitles you to a number of benefits; including third party insurance whilst fishing, exclusive access to club car parks in various locations around Bewl's banks & discounts in local tackle shops & the Bewl fishing lodge
Bewl Bridge Flyfishers' Club enters teams into all the major national flyfishing competitions & is always seeking to recruit new blood from within the membership
Special club clothing, badges & other memorabilia are available at all times & especially at the AGM which is held in the Bewl clubhouse each February. A very popular tackle auction is always held on the afternoon of the AGM
