“The lakes are understandably tricky with the warm conditions, but successful flies were: Grey Wulff, daddy long-legs, buzzer and PTN.
The river continues to fish well, with successful flies including GRHE, Grey Wulff, damsel and PTN. The highlight of the week was a beautiful 6.5lb sea trout, caught and returned on beat D.”

The River Day was a great success, over 20 members listened to Andrew Thompson’s talk about the club’s plans for the river and it’s ecology. Mark demonstrated various casting techniques and gave advice about tackle.

Members stopped at the Old Riffle and chatted over wine, beer and the marvellous cakes provided by Poppett.
“On Saturday I visited Little Bognor and found the fish rising well. I made use of the bankside cover, hiding from cruising trout. Two trout took a size 14 black buzzer on the lower lake. I also connected with three fish on the upper lake using the same tactics, two of which came adrift. Stealth, a realistic imitation and good presentation are essential with shy fish in difficult conditions“. Nigel Rainton
