About

The Fresh Water Fishing Club has over 300 members eager to go fishing and learn more about fishing in Florida. The club’s purpose is to bring together people who want to fish and to provide a venue for doing so. It is not just for those who have fished all their lives, but for any skill level.

Membership is restricted to Villages residents only.

Initial membership is $20 which includes a name badge. Yearly renewal is $10.

The club is active in community events, including the Spring Outdoor Expo and the kid’s annual fishing derby which is part of the Summer Villages Intergenerational program.
The club endeavors to:

  • Develop and improve skills in fresh water fishing and related activities.
  • Organize 8 monthly fishing outing/picnics each year.
  • Be a source of information and instruction.
  • Promote conservation ethics with regard to a “catch and release” of game fish where appropriate.
  • To actively support state and federal legislation or regulations which serve to protect or improve our natural resources
