Hi
Looking at potentially joint PAAS this year.
Any current members on here that can advise as to how busy the lakes get?
Live in Northwich and work Manchester and looking to fish a couple of MW Nights through Spring - Autumn

if your fishing mid week you'll be fine on most lakes I think, weekends however can be chaos, there's alot of carp anglers in the club now.

Very busy - but most lakes are
You'll turn up and swims will be closed for no reason and without warning
Some daft rules at certain lakes
It is what it is......!?

Like someone said already...weekdays can be quiet,weekends on certain waters are hammered..but that's only comparable to day ticket waters,where its chaos also!
It seems to be certain waters also,so if you are willing to try the quieter waters,you can have lots of peace!

Just the same as the day ticket circus on the better carp waters and be prepared to get fined if your caught 20 ft off your rods talking to someone in the very close next swim like I did .Left the naughty Boys club about 4 years ago not for me .Went to hatchmere 6 times midweek and couldn't get a peg which was the reason I stopped fishing day ticket waters and joined in the first place .The last few years I was a member I just fished the Ribble

Fond memories from about 10 years ago being told by the Bailiff on Sandmere that he was going to root through my bags for banned items e.g. can's, tin's etc. My mate wasn't nearly as accommodating and threatened to throw him in the lake if he touched his bags.
Suffice to say neither of us joined the following year. Don't know if it's any different now but spend a few weeks reading all the rules, there was enough of em.

As said some of the bayliffs can be militant but its generally few and far between.
I have always followed rules. been open and sensible and have only ever been picked up for one thing which was mistaken identity although took some heated discussion at the time to get my point accross.
For the sheer amount of waters its worth it, especially after the first year as its a reduced rate. Stay away from sand and dove at weekend but there is always somewhere else to go.

Wasn't impressed with a fair few venues. So many are being ottered and nothing done it's unreal. Again found a few Bayliffs absolute a**holes.
Some lovely low stock lakes that require some serious effort if you have 2-3 nights a week

I notice on their website that you can buy their waters guide for £20 if you're a member. I'm due to join next year and was going to ask them if I can buy it in advance.
Is it worth it though or is the online map sufficient?

You get the Map book free when you join. I've kept my card for £130.00 why wouldn't you with 200 waters to go at across the fishing spectrum. You would always struggle to Otter fence the Meres which are leased

Do they still do an induction you have to attend?. Think it use to be in Macclesfield.
