Welcome to Taunton Angling Association.

Thurlbear Lake Taunton Angling Association was founded around 1948 and currently offers fishing to just over 900 members, We are dedicated to making your angling experience as pleasurable as possible. Whether you're interested in match fishing, carp fishing or pike fishing, we have a venue to suit your needs. We boast some of the best fishing in the South west of England which includes 6 miles of the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal which has been known to produce large nets of Bream and some very large specimen carp and pike. Pleasure nets to 40lbs are not uncommon.

Within this site you will find everything you need to know about the club and its waters,

We have received complaints about litter and human waste being left at Maunsel ponds. If this persists we will have no alternative but to close the venue. If any angler is caught with litter in their swim action will be taken. Please note this applies to all club waters.
