Welcome to Rochdale Walton Angling Society

Welcome to Rochdale Walton Angling Society Website.

Rochdale Walton Angling Society

Founded in 1858, Rochdale Walton Angling Society is one of the oldest and most respected angling clubs in the region. We proudly manage a range of well-stocked waters that offer excellent coarse fishing opportunities in picturesque settings.

Our waters include:

  • Two lakes at Healey Dell
  • Two lakes at Buckley Wood in Syke

All our lakes are home to a variety of species including Carp, Roach, Tench, and other popular coarse fish. These peaceful, natural environments provide a perfect escape for anglers of all ages and skill levels.

We are also excited to announce a new project: the development of an additional fishing water within our land at Healey Dell, further expanding our offerings for members and visitors.

In addition, the Society has recently taken on the management of several miles of the Rochdale Canal. This stretch of canal offers excellent fishing and has been made accessible to both able-bodied and disabled anglers, reflecting our commitment to inclusivity and community engagement.

Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just starting out, Rochdale Walton Angling Society provides a welcoming and rewarding fishing experience.
