About Us

Frome Angling will be 100 years old in 2031, as of 2025 we have more members than at any time in our history. It’s previous peak membership was 800 in the 1980’s but today we have over 870 and have recently had to put in place a waiting list. We have a very strong financial base today, just like in the 1980’s when River Frome matches regularly attracted 120 anglers. and the club invested wisely, purchasing the fishing rights for miles of the River Frome.

Today’s membership is attracted by fly fishing for prolific Mells Stream trout plus the chance of a monster from the upper Frome. There’s fine mixed summer fishing for tench, silver fish and carp at The Lighthouse and the excellent coarse fishing on the River Frome for chub, perch and pike backed up by stocks of roach and dace. With adult membership just £45 a year, our club offers high quality waters at low cost.

In addition to club waters, FADAA members can also enjoy trying out other club’s waters. We have negotiated access for all members through our exchange ticket agreement which can be booked for just £1 as well as many commercial day-ticket waters for a discount of up to 70%.

The FADAA committee welcome you to our club and look forward to meeting you on the bank.
