The association established over a century ago is the local coarse fishing society based in the town of Shefford. SDAA has an open membership with no joining fee for new members. The association controls the fishing rights on several excellent lakes and premier stretches of the rivers in and around Bedfordshire, and caters for the general angler, specimen hunter and match angler. In recent seasons, SDAA waters have produced specimen catfish over 45lb; carp over 40lb; pike over 30lb; barbel, tench and bream all over 10lb; chub over 6lb; perch over 4lb; and roach over 3lb. SDAA waters include stretches of the rivers Great Ouse (stretches above and below Bedford), Ivel, Flit and Ivel Navigation. The lakes include the Airman Pit, Willington Lake, Broom Lake and Stanford Pit. Membership of SDAA also entitles members to fish the Ivel Protection Association controlled stretches of the river Ivel and MKAA controlled stretches of the Grand Union Canal.
