Founded in 1949, Canterbury Anglers Club is the oldest and one of the largest angling clubs in the Canterbury region. We offer members exclusive access to three high-country lodge facilities and participate in conserving Canterbury's precious waterways.
Our club hosts monthly meetings, competitions, and guided fishing trips throughout the season. We welcome anglers of all experience levels – from beginners learning their first cast to seasoned fly fishers chasing trophy trout.
