I have wondered for a while now about the reasons folk join the so called specialist groups such as the tench fishers the perch fishes and such and what benefits folk get from such ''clubs'' and what would I gain by joining?
From looking at some of the webs sites of some of the groups it looks like most of them are just a social thing for elitist anglers and make it jolly hard for ''normal anglers'' to join! I know all about the barbel society and what they stand for, but one I cant get my head round is the Chub study group, from looking at their website they just seem like a bunch of elitist guys out to have a jolly good time with their little gang!
Is it just me that think these clubs are a waste of time or have they really got any benefit?
