CLUB RULES

Your local Angling Club in Bedfordshire with some

outstanding waters.

Ampthill angling was formed in 1950 by a group of local lads from the town. Ampthill Reservoir was their very first water that the club rented from the town council. We now have six waters that we rent, these are Westminster Pool,
Marston Pit, Brogborough Pit, Brogborough Lagoon,Millbrook Lake

We are constantly working to increase the range of fishing and options available, ultimately for our member’s pleasure. The club is a member of the angling trust.

The Club also has a night fishing  section that is run by Bob Jones which is at
Brogborough Pit.
