It’s good to see them swim away.
With the water temperature in the rainbow trout lakes still rising, the fishing there is extremely challenging. The river and the cool, spring-fed brown trout lakes offer more reliable sport. On the river, one sea trout was caught in this, the traditional peak time for these returning fish. However, we desperately need some rain to encourage them upstream. We are used to seeing plenty of the Banded demoiselle along our stretch and this season there is also an abundance of the Beautiful demoiselle. Late evenings in particular, are providing great sport at present. – Andrew Thompson
River Day – 1 July at 4pm
This is always an informative and relaxed gathering. It’s an opportunity to learn about the river and eat cake.
“For those of you who would like to learn a little more about our section of the Western Rother, we are holding our annual river day on Saturday, July 1st at 4pm. This will follow the usual format and will last about two hours, after which there will be a selection of refreshments and time to cast a fly before dusk. Discussions will include invertebrate life, casting and favoured trout haunts.
If you would like to come along, please could you let me know by June 26th. Please note that participants should meet in Rotherbridge Lane (GU28 0LL or What3words: nibbled.melon.tumblers) and will then travel in their own vehicles and by foot. ” – Krysia Bylett, Estate Office
