Formed in
1881,the Otago Anglers Association is the oldest angling
club in New Zealand, and possibly Australiasia. The aims
and objects of the club are as spelt out in the rules
- "the
encouragement of the art of angling, the fostering of
friendship, and emulation amongst anglers by means of
fishing competitions and otherwise, and the obtaining of
useful information regarding the various streams in the
district".
Today the club
is thriving and in good heart, with a strong emphasis on family
involvement. Our main interest is in trout fishing, but our activities
cover all types of angling from dangling a line from the wharf, to salmon
fishing. We cater for all types of angler, from the complete novice to the
expert, and new faces are always welcome. We have well appointed and fully
licenced clubrooms, fitted with all the relevant facilities, and these are
the focal point of the club, where we hold all of our weekly meetings,
most of the weigh ins, barbecues and various other social
functions.
In addition
to the clubrooms, we own four fishing lodges, which are
very popular, and are available to members and families
at an extremely low rental. This can be on bunk only
basis, or if privacy is required, lodges can be rented
for exclusive family use only.
