High Quality, Affordable Mixed Fishing
Waltonian Angling Club
The Waltonian Angling Club (WAC) was formed in 1909 as a Sheffield Angling Club. The club became a limited company in 1956 and since then has been administered by a group of elected members forming the Board of Directors. The aim of the club is to promote the sport and pastime of angling in all its branches and to encourage social interaction between the members.
​
The ethos of the club is to provide top quality mixed discipline fishing for our members at an affordable annual fee, with the minimum of rules and regulations. Our members have the privilege of fishing several venues in Derbyshire and on the Trent.
