WHO WE ARE

The Lakeside Angling Club has been around for a lot of years but has had to take a back seat during the Covid Outbreak so has not been as visible and it use to be.

In cooperation with Gateshead Council we continue to manage the fishing on the lake at Red Barns Pond (also called Pelaw quarry pond or Pelaw Nature Reserve). The lake is accessible from Mill Lane, Hebburn with parking on the grass verge opposite the car wash (please note that parking at the Cock Crow Inn is for customers only). As a registered fishing club we are also affiliated with the Tyne Anglers Alliance (TAA) which gives our members access to other waters in the Tyneside area.

Membership costs £20 per adult, Oap's and Disabled £10 and Juniors up to 16 years old £5

Family Membership (1 adult and up to 3 (related) children) £25

All children must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times.

All members are emailed a virtual membership card which they must produce when asked.

(if you require a printed one you must request it at a charge of £1.50)

Benefits of LAC Membership

As a member of the LAC (st) you have the right to legally fish our water Red Barnes Pond (also called Pelaw Nature Reserve Water) but it doesn’t stop there. Due to our affiliation with the TAA you are also entitled to fish 4 other waters in the Northeast. We also have an ‘exchange ticket’ scheme (which we hope to expand this year) in operation with SFAC allowing you to fish their waters (you must have the correct ticket which is issued by our club). The club leases our water from Gateshead Council and has good relationship with them, we also liaise with the the Pelaw Quarry Nature Reserve group to help care for and manage the area.

New and Junior members.

Can all parents be aware that the club also offers free guidance on fishing tackle and one to one assistance for new members. The following is found on our membership form for parents to select if required.

"Fishing coaching: The club can provide fishing tackle and coaching guidance on fishing practices including, setting up of equipment, the different methods used in fishing, water/bank safety etc if requested. If you would like our help please tick here, information will be forthcoming on the Facebook page or email the club at LakesideSt@outlook.com. Please note any child must be accompanied by a responsible adult for the coaching session".

Please note! Fishing is from official (metal) pegs only!

There is good disabled access to several pegs around the lake.

Please remember this is a nature reserve and as such you are expected to take all trash away with you. The area has neither toilets or waste paper bins so whatever you take with you please take away when you leave.
