Kirkintilloch Angling Association.

The KAA have apparently been reformed by some previous members of the RKAA. Several tackle shops and anglers have been approached by a representative of the KAA, claiming that the River Kelvin Angling Association do not have the fishing rights for the Kelvin above Cawder Golf Club. This information is incorrect as our lease from the Crown Estate covers this stretch. While the KAA may have negotiated rights with the riparian owner, this does not allow them to fish for migratories, regardless of the claims on the permits they are issuing. The KAA cannot stop any RKAA member from fishing on the any stretch of the Kelvin. The committee are meeting with the KAA representatives this week. We are disappointed that former RKAA members have chosen to start this club without consulting the association, but we hope to get the matter sorted quickly. More information will be available after the meeting.
