Otley Angling Club. 



The Otley Angling Club was formed in 1876, principally 

 through the kindness of Ayscough Fawkes, Esq., of 

 Farnley Hall, who gives to the Club about six miles of 

 fishing on one side of the river Wharfe. The number 

 of members is limited to 30, paying an annual subscription 

 of ^^"3 and an entrance fee of £2, The society hatches 

 about 26,000 trout fry annually and places them in the 

 river. The President is Ayscough Fawkes, Esq., while the 

 Hon. Sec. is R. M. Pratt, Esq., Otley. 



The Redditch Piscatorials. 



The Club was established a short time ago to meet the 

 requirements of the working-men anglers (who are mostly 

 engaged in the Redditch hook, &c., manufactories). So far 

 it has been a decided success. The subscription is u., 

 with \d. for a book of rules. The Club has been greatly 

 assisted by several of the manufacturers giving prizes to 

 be fished for.
