About Perth & District Anglers Association
Since May 1951
Perth and District Anglers Association (PDAA) was formed in May 1951 for the improvement and protection of Fishing in the Perthshire area.
When PDAA first started, the club was actively involved in fighting pollution from the Tay Stanley Mills. The mills were producing cotton goods at the time, and daily waste from the dyeing processes was being discharged into the river.
Our involvement in helping to clean up the river resulted in the establishment of many beneficial relationships with riparian owners such as the Earl of Mansfield, Mr Callum Towns, Messrs F & A Dunnet, Mr J Apthorp and Mr P D Malloch. Many of these men became committee members and benefactors of the club.
Since then the Association evolved through a huge membership of over 500 members to the current levels of around 200, where it has been for some years. The Association offers members excellent fishing and is always looking to offer better fishing and a better experience to our members.
