Alright lads was hoping for some advice on which club to join for next year with a nice stretch of ribble to fish.I used to fish elston years ago but have been told that it gets very busy nowadays,is it still worth getting on there or is there other clubs with nice stretches on it.

Southport have Church Deeps and the confluence with the Darwen, both great for access. I think it's £36 a year.

Elston gets busy, the amount of rubbish left on the field of the lower farm is a disgrace but the upper farm isn't a busy, just you have to lug your stuff across a field.

Just noticed you are in Bolton as well, Southport also have Anglezarke and Upper Rivington. I bought Wigan, although St Helens is cheaper, Wigan has some good waters that are worth a visit.
