There is quite a lot of detail on the waters on the website but it's one of the club rules that catches are not publicised, but as an ex-member they don't apply to me any more. The club is a typical curates egg, they have a few good waters, a lot of average ones and some shockers. My information is two years old and assumes no losses or gains of waters which of course is possibly not the case.
I'm assuming that it's river trout fishing that you are interested in as well as coarse.
Brown trout fishing is possibly not the PAAS strongest feature but they have brown trout fly fishing on many rivers and the best of these is possibly the Dove in the Peak District. They have four Dove beats, one in the upper reaches near Longnor which hold good trout and a few grayling but is quite tight in places. One near Ashbourne which is a very decent piece of water with loads of fish willing to come to the dry. The top 100 metres is excellent and then it's a bit less good. There are wild browns and browns to easily 16". Then there is another section split into several different beats at Doveridge down nearer Uttoxeter which have good coarse fishing as well as some very nice browns. The last beat is at the confluence with the Trent.
They have a few other odds and sods on the Derwent, Wharfe and Hamps.
They have about 20 beats on the Dane in rural Cheshire which are a mixture of decent trout water (but difficult casting in many places) and decent coarse fishing with barbel present.
In the NW they have a decent beat of the Hodder at Mitton near the confluence with the Ribble.
Then you have their very extensive waters in Wales with decent stretches on the Banwy, Gam, Welsh Dee, Teifi and Vrynwy. A lot of these are salmon and sea trout waters but all the above have decent browns and some have grayling as well.
They have a couple of stillwaters, Lamaload near Macclesfield which is quite a large water with good browns and rainbows producing about 1,500 fish per season and Catchpenny a 19 acre lake near Withington producing up to 4,000 fish in a good season.
The salmon and sea trout waters are extensive including beats on the Mawddach, Wnion, Dovey, Cleifion, Conway, Lledr, Towy, Wye, Severn, Ribble, Lune, Mint, Cumbrian Esk, Irt, Eden and Border Esk and most of these will have a head of brown trout in them. A typical year would see about 450 salmon and 2,000 sea trout taken from PASS waters
Coarse fishing is excellent with a lot of the decent Severn (over 40 miles of bank) in their hands, three good Wye beats, two at Symond's Yat and one nearer Hay on Wye, good lengths of the Trent and some cracking stillwaters in the Shropshire/Cheshire meres plus Bosley.
If you want to know about a specific area or river PM me and I'll give you more detailed information.
The waiting list is normally about two years.

There is a blackbird on every thorn and a cock chaffinch, a twink as they call him there, on every bush...... It moved me profoundly. I had been spared to see another spring, and I thank God for it.”
