Our fishing club is managed by a 17-member volunteer committee. This dynamic team aims to offer everyone the chance to enjoy their favorite pastime in the best possible conditions: active participation in the FHPA (fédération halieutique et piscicole du sous bassin de l’ Amblève), joint courses and events with the Pêcheurs Réunis de Basse-Bodeux-Coo-Trois-Ponts, support from the towns of Stavelot and Malmedy and their tourist offices, investment in the “Amblève” trout stocking program at the provincial hatchery, river improvement work…
And all things considered, it works!
Over 600 annual members put their trust in us every year, with an average of 380 “NO-KILL”, “150 all techniques” and 80 “junior” members on the river, plus some 150 members on the ponds.
And to keep you entertained, here’s what’s in store for you in 2025:
- Release of “speckled” rainbow trout on the Warche and Amblève rivers, in parallel with total protection of the fario trout and reinsertion of the “Amblève” stock with truitelles from the provincial hatchery.
- 6 spills of 24-35cm rainbow trout (910kg in total) and 90000 3-5cm troutelle “Amblève” strain.
- All river courses are totally protected for fario trout (no-kill).
- The no-kill card now authorizes the harvesting of exotic crayfish.
- The organization of a “lure” competition on the river: lure competition in teams of 2 on all our river courses (Amblève and Warche) on Sunday May 25.
- The Amblève FLY challenge for teams of three fly-fishermen, in 3 rounds, including a new feature: an evening stroke. Rendezvous on Saturday July 12 on the Stavelot and Trois-Ponts river courses.
- Participation in the cleaning and redevelopment of the Stavelot ponds (reopening end 2025).
- New company caps: will be available from the opening.
- The opening of river trout fishing has been brought forward to the first Saturday in March: 15 days more fishing over the year.
