Founded around 100 years ago, the society welcomes all to join, the residents of St Neots and the surrounding area are really spoilt for choice when it comes to angling. There are miles of mid reaches of the meandering river Great Ouse, one of the longest navigable rivers in the country. There are many tributaries and backwaters of the river, many of which can be found in the boundaries of one of the town's main tourist attractions – the Riverside Park . This huge park together with the Regatta Field offers dozens of comfortable swims along the main river and numerous backwater swims for winter fishing. There is a free car park in the Riverside Park and no swim is more than a short walk away.

The club holds regular matches on it's waters, the newly dug venue Pocket Park Marina (which is connected to the Great Ouse but will be open all year round) featuring well with matches being won with weights up to 18lbs. The club also has a stillwater venue in Wilden Reservoir which is also one of the match venues.

The town is steeped in angling history, and the fishing club in the past has hosted huge open matches with up to 250 anglers competing. One of four times world champion Bob Nudd's favourite river swims is next to the Coneygeare bridge, as featured in his guide to pole fishing. John Wilson used to night fish Lammas Meadow for bream in the 1960's. His autobiography has quite an amusing story about cows on the common licking paint off his mate's van!

The society's main aim is to promote local angling. Annual adult membership is only £25.00, concessions are £12.50. This is great value when you consider the variety of venues available and that day tickets are £4.00 (£1.50 concessions).
