Enjoy fishing beyond normal Association hours with our range of night permits, available across selected H&DAA fisheries.
Night permits are issued in limited numbers to protect our fisheries and provide a quality angling experience. Annual permits are allocated through waiting lists, maintained in strict order of application.
You must remain a current H&DAA member to hold a night permit or retain your place on a waiting list. Members who do not renew by 1 July each year will be removed from the waiting lists.

When a permit becomes available, the Night Permit Secretary contacts the next eligible member, usually from mid-January, using the contact details on their membership record. Keep your details up to date and respond promptly. If you cannot be contacted, the offer may pass to the next eligible member.
