From the Director: 

Dear Member,

I sincerely hope that this year, it is a more optimistic view that I bring to you. There are changes happening and things are improving. We now have a good number of 30+ fish back in our two prime waters and membership enquiries are looking very healthy.  It is your invaluable support that has got us through a few difficult years and for that both I and the committee offer our profound thanks.  You can read more of the changes in the newsletter however, as things continue to improve, I believe we are due a good season and I wish you all well for your fishing in 2026.

 

Membership 

The last couple of years has seen membership numbers increasing, but still not reaching capacity. Pre-season enquiries have been strong and we are expecting some stability now going forward.

All lakes will be fishable again on a 48hr session. Then you must allow 48hrs before returning.

Membership prices will increase by £10(seniors) and £5(juniors and OAP). This is the first increase for 3 yrs.

​

Close season tickets

A limited number of tickets will be available to allow qualifying members, to fish through April and May on Moor Lane and Berry Hill. There is a nominal charge of £40 for this.

The Moor lane / Berry Hill tickets are subject to two key Requirements;

1. You will have to have been a member for one year

2.  In the previous season, you must have attended at least one working party and not omitted this by paying the non working party donation.

 

Payments by Bank Transfer 

The details for this method of payment will be on the forms. Please note that if you elect to use this method of payment, no actions will be taken on your membership until we see your fees come through on our bank statement. 

Bank Transfers should be made to:-     Lloyds Bank,  Sort code 30-97-73,   Account No. 44011968.

Please add your name and ‘Membership’ tag as a reference i.e.  (Fred Bloggs Membership)

NOTE. YOU WILL STILL NEED TO FILL IN A MEMBERSHIP FORM AND SEND IN BY POST.

 

Annual General Meeting 

The AGM will again be held at Wraysbury village hall, Thursday 23rd April, starting at 7.30 pm. It would be great to see a few more people this year to get some new input. If anyone has a particular question, then please submit in advance to any committee member so we can make sure we have the answers.

​

Data Protection

Our Data Protection policy was introduced back in 2018 and it is published on our website on the membership page.

 

Web Site

The web site continues to run quite well and is now becoming useful in providing forms for new and renewing members.

It also provides a popular method for potential new members to register on the Clubs waiting list and information on our waters.

If you have not visited the site yet it can be found at: -  www.kingsmooranglers.co.

We would like to see more fish reports and photos sent in by members. We know the fish are being caught so please don’t be shy in 2026, please send in some pics that we can show on the site. Please send to  kingsmooranglers@yahoo.com                     

Could we ask that this is just used for photos? All other messages please use the “contact us” page on the website.

We also have a Facebook page. This will allow members to keep in regular contact and report any catches. This is for members only and you will be removed 1 yr. after no longer being a member due to our data protection policy. All submitted material will remain on the page

 

Water Reports

Please see appropriate Water report page

​

Ashford fish farm 

We are sad to report that we will be losing Ashford Fish Farm after the 5th APRIL 2026. We would like to thank Karen and Les for the support and work between us over those 10 yrs., but with the house and lakes for sale, it was deemed the best solution. We will be put in touch with the new owners as and when it happens, and it may be a future option again.
