Gipping Valley Angling Club (GVAC)

GVAC welcomes the affiliation of the Suffolk Disabled Anglers Forum (SDAF). Its members now enjoy fishing at our accessible sites.   

We have built a new 2 Lake fishery with funding from the Big Lottery Fund and the Environment Agency. This fishery is the first in Suffolk to offer total access to disabled anglers and can accommodate 50.

We have fishing permissions for a stretch of the river stour at Cattawade, a stretch of the river gipping at Claydon, Needham Market and Stowmarket.  We also have permission for 6 Lakes.  Please visit our website (www.gvac.co.uk) for more details.

Fishing the Gvac Waters is available either Day Ticket for Needham Lake and Barking Lakes, or yearly membership, all available from Bosmere Tackle, Birds Tackle and Breakaway Tackle.
