Established in 1938, Western Districts Angling Club now boasts members from across South Australia. We are a family-friendly club focused on helping members develop their angling skills while enjoying themselves along the way. If our values and objectives align with yours, we warmly invite you to join us.
Club meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month from 7:30 pm at the Western Youth Centre, 79 Marion Road Cowandilla, South Australia. These are social get-togethers where we discuss previous and upcoming trips, share tips, tricks and experiences, and talk fishing. Visitors from around Australia are also welcome to attend club meetings and fishing competitions.
Competitions and Trips
Western Districts is proudly affiliated with the Australian Anglers Association (S.A. Division) and regularly competes against other clubs in five state championship events each year. Several of our members have achieved individual state titles, and our men’s, junior, and ladies’ teams have previously secured state team championships. Members also take part in the Biennial National Championships, held at various locations across Australia.
The club is also affiliated with the South Australian Piscatorial Council, the body responsible for managing state fishing records in South Australia.
We hold monthly club angling competitions at locations in and around Adelaide, as well as throughout the state. These events cover a range of environments, including freshwater, boat, jetty, beach, and rock fishing. Some club competitions also incorporate the AAA championship events.
Our fishing trips cater to all levels of enthusiasm – whether you’re in it to win or just want a relaxed day out. The focus is always on enjoyment. Often, we wrap up the day with a BBQ or a meal at a local pub, giving members the chance to socialise, share stories, and reflect on the big one that got away.
