Exeter & District Angling Association - Club News
So updates from the recent AGM
Membership dues for 2026 will increase by five pounds in each category.
Day ticket memberships were discussed and a proposal to restrict access to our still waters and our parking facilities for day ticket memberships was overwhelmingly supported and will take effect from January 2026.
Day ticket angling prices remain at £15.00 and this will only entitle purchasers to fish The Exeter Canal The River Exe and River Culm venues. All other venues are to become strictly annual members only.
All of the codes to our venues will be changed to reflect these new conditions from 1st January 2026.
You will be sent new codes when you renew or purchase your membership.
It was felt that there needs to be a real benefit to becoming a member of this association and that offering access to our exclusive waters on a day ticket basis did not reflect this hence the changes.
If this affects you detrimentally or you do not approve then all we would say is that AGMs are where you get your say and the opportunity to vote for or against any proposals. Those that did attend voted in favour of them.
Regards
Team EDAA

clubmate.fish
After another successful survey to pick the brains of clubs, coaches and all involved in junior angling, we received another brilliant, eye-opening set of results. So what really stood out in 2025? Af...
Today’s Over 55s was held at Fennick ponds, 11 anglers taking part.
First on the bottom pond, continuing his good recent run was Tony Potter. Tony weighed 9lb 12ozs, all taken on pole tactics, with worm hookbaits.
Second from peg 8, Dave Wilkins only needed a level 4lb to take runner up spot. Pole tactics again were used.
The top pond was won by Mark Cottingham, taken advantage of yet another good draw, Mark had 58lb 8ozs of small carp. Straight lead with bread proved successful.
Sending from peg 3, entries favoured draw, Mark Branson used both pole and method for a weight of 22lb 12ozs.
The next match will be on 15th Oct at S. Peverell. Book on as usual.
With the start of the dead bait season starting on the 1st Oct, let's just remind everyone of the rules.
No free lining for pike,
Minimum 30lb braid, and 15lb mono, wire traces 30lb min. And please do not have your trebles to far apart recommended , (maximum 4" apart)
To avoid deep hooking.
A large unhooking mat, a 42" net or equivalent .
Forceps, pliers, and cutters etc.
Hooks semi barbless or barbless ( I am happy with semi barbless to hold the bait on, although it doesn't say in the rules.)
Anyone not following theses guidelines will be asked to leave the water.Our pikes welfare comes first. Thank you, and enjoy your piking.
