THE VERULAM AC was formed in 1934 by some 14-20 local businessmen and has been providing quality fisheries and sport for its members ever since. Over the years the club has flourished and grown, to the extent that it now caters for over 2000 members, offering a diverse portfolio of fisheries.

The club controls a wide variety of coarse fishing on rivers, lakes, gravel pits and canals as well as offering waters dedicated to fly-fishing for trout. They provide the opportunities to catch whatever your target is, be it a few bites in pleasant surroundings to a specimen of a lifetime. Night fishing is available at no extra cost on a number of our venues.

The Club has an active match section fishing a full calendar of matches across a variety of home and ‘away’ venues. There are several charity matches, the championship series and the ever-popular summer evening league.

The club is very proud of their fisheries. Each fishery has a dedicated fishery manager and a team of bailiffs to support them. They ask that all able-bodied members complete one working party a year to assist with the upkeep and management of the fisheries. These can be anything from litter-picking to full-blown groundworks so we will always allocate tasks proportionate to your suitability. For those that are less physically able and may still want to “do their bit” we have a range of administration tasks that we require assistance with from time to time throughout the year.

Juniors are more than welcome in the club and with no entrance fee plus reduced subscriptions, it is the club's intention to encourage more youngsters into the sport. They also allow non-fishing guest on most fisheries and we have toilet facilities on most of their still water venues.
