Back in 1954 a group of a dozen or so friends and match anglers regularly met at the Prince Albert Pub in Newton Street Macclesfield. In those days their fishing was confined to South Park Pool, the Macclesfield Canal , Rudyard Lake and Bosley Reservoir. They fished either on day tickets or as guests of of one of the big clubs of the day. Eventually one of their number, came up with the idea that they should form a team and club under the banner of the Prince Albert, although at that stage they could only fish matches and day ticket waters. This led to the idea that they should club together and rent a water of their own.
Their first opportunity was to acquire the Brick Pond on Barracks Lane, they each put in to the fund what they could afford and the deal went through and on 19th August 1954 the Prince Albert Angling Society was born. Over the subsequent years many other waters were added to the portfolio, Crabtree Moss was next followed by Birtles Old Hall, Irongates, the River Dane at Hulme Walfield Old Hall and Manor Farm at Middlewich and the Serpentine at Alderley Park. Prince Albert then became affiliated to County Palatine, Cheshire Anglers and Northwich and District Anglers. The rest has, as they say, passed into the history of angling.
The PAAS portfolio now boasts over 220 stunning waters!
From those humble beginnings the Prince Albert Angling Society has grown to be the largest and most successful fishing club in Europe today boasting a portfolio of over 220 waters, a membership of over 8,500 and a waiting list approaching 2000. The range of Prince Albert Waters varies from still waters, to rivers offering an excellent variety of species. All waters are extensive and offer fishing of unrivaled quality. The Prince Albert Angling Society now have over 230 stretches of water in the U.K, there are waters to suit everyone’s needs, Coarse, Game and Mixed Waters are available from the Cumbrian Esk in the North to the Wye at Ross on Wye in the South.
