Good value membership...

Just renewed my WAA memebership. Although a primarily a coarse water club, it has some fantastic fly fishing on some of its rivers for 40pa (joing fee is about 30+). If you live in the NW and don't want to travel too far into Wales for some good fishing, the club can offer a couple of miles on the best Alyn beats, the Dee at Shocklach and Worthenbry (opposite bank to much of Bangor on Dee waters) the River Dane and parts of the upper Severn. There are also some Severn tribs, a bit of the Wye and a piece of river in Derbyshire. Check out the website.
Personally I can't find better value for money, that involves less travel. I can hit the Alyn in 15mins.
