Pietermaritzburg Angling Club

Pietermaritzburg Angling Club is one of the oldest Angling Clubs in the KwaZulu-Natal Freshwater Bank Angling Union, having been established in 1944. However, the current Management Committee and membership are testimony to a vibrant, continuously developing club.

We drive a strategy to add value to all members through our monthly club meetings, club outings at various dams in around the Midlands of KZN and workshops.

The Club is an affiliated member of the KwaZulu-Natal Freshwater Bank Angling Union, and offers its members added exposure to Union controlled activities and the possibility to progress their angling from club to provincial and possibly national level.
