Since 1949, Canterbury Anglers Club has brought fishers together to enjoy the world-class rivers and high-country lakes of the Canterbury region. Three exclusive member lodges, year-round events, and a passionate community.
Three exclusive lodges in Canterbury's finest fishing locations
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.
Fish of the Month (Jan 2026) – “Warwick Burton with a fresh run salmon at the Rakaia Mouth”
