About the SDAA

SDAA is a local angling club that provides a diverse fishing experience. With our well-maintained still waters and rivers, anglers can enjoy a variety of fishing opportunities. Our lake stocked with catfish adds an exciting element to the fishery. Join us to explore the world of angling.

Membership of SDAA provides you with access to quality coarse fishing across a range of stillwater and river venues in and around Bedfordshire. Whether you are a specimen hunter or pleasure angler, SDAA waters can cater for virtually all your needs with access to all major species.

Our active maintenance programme aims to improve both fishery habitat (e.g. application of Siltex, marginal plants) and access (e.g. tracks, swim rebuilding). Small batches of top quality carp are regularly introduced into our major stillwater fisheries to both maintain numbers and provide the specimens of the future.
