PAC Membership Benefits

National Benefits

As you may have guessed, there are many benefits to being a member of the club which is the leading authority on the pike and pike protection and conservation.

The PAC is organised into Regional Associations (RAs), usually centred on a town or borough. The RA's have a varied membership of both experienced and inexperienced anglers. Each RA holds regular very informal and sociable meetings to discuss piking. Special trips and events may also be arranged, mainly to benefit new members. Your Local RA is the place to get a great start for your pike fishing.

You also have the chance to attend the annual Pike Anglers Club Convention at a discounted rate. This is a major event which attracts pike anglers from all over the country. There are presentations by some of the best known pike anglers from the UK and abroad, the tackle trade is always well represented, there are competitions, a second hand stall, and all manner of other attractions. It is the pike angling event of the year and is not to be missed, we hope to see you there.

The PAC holds privileged access/charity events on prestigious waters such as Llandegfedd Reservoir in Wales and The Lake of Menteith in Scotland to name but two.

The PAC has its own unique range of top quality products, including clothing, badges and other items, not forgetting back-issues of Pikelines.

As well as having its social side, the PAC is an active organisation working to protect pike, pike fishing and pike anglers' rights through initiatives such as the Pike in your Waters booklet, the Pikemark scheme for frozen baits and contact with other bodies such as the National Anglers Alliance and the Environment Agency.

ALL of the PAC's exclusive events, publications and products are advertised in our professionally produced quarterly magazine Pikelines - which alone is worth the price of the annual subscription!
