The club can trace its history back to 1900 when it was previously called Publow Angling Club (1900) and Pensford Angling Club (1905). The Club changed its name to Chew Fly Fishing Club in 1909 and it has remained the same for the last 116 years.

Some members also conduct river fly monitoring, and the club works closely with Bristol Avon Rivers Trust (BART) to help protect and improve the river.
