“Members enjoyed good sport on all the lakes this week, including a 4lb rainbow trout at Lower Figgs and a lovely 5lb brown caught at Little Bognor. Successful flies included Copper black, Colonel creeper, various damsels, GRHE, buzzer, Montana, black, white, green nymphs and Greenwell’s Glory.
Unfortunately, the river valley remained flooded all week, though now it is returning to normal and should be fishable by mid-week. Please remember to drive extra slowly through Kilsham Farm.
Despite the earlier river flooding, spring is showing signs of returning, with cuckoo, nightingale and swallow seen on the estate this week.
One member left the Tillington road carpark near Lower Figgs with his rod resting unattached to the roof of his car. If anyone sees it there, or along the roadside towards Lurgashall, please report to me, thank you!“
