According to what I found out, "Fischwaid" is a jargon word for "fish hunt", and "-waidler" is the one who participates in such. Thus I would suggest to leave the word untranslated and add something like "members of a fishing club). Fischwaidler is both singular and plural, so I would vote for the plural form.

Fish Hunters
For sure, there isn't any "Fish hunter."
My translation intends to reflect the etymology of the word "waidler."
"Weidon" in Old Hochdeutsch and "weiden" or "weidenen" in Middle Hochdeutsch denote "jagen."
These words become "-waid" in modern German, so that "Fischwaid" means "Fischjagd" or "fish hunting" in English.
"Fischwaidler" would be derived from the etymology meaning "Fischjäger" or "fish hunter(s)" in English.
Ich finde es relevant, den Namen des Clubs "Fischwaidler" als "Fish Hunter(s)" zu übersetzen.
