Catch Returns – 16 June

“Successful flies used in the past week:
Lakes: Midge emerger, F-fly, Cdc emerger, sedge, daddy, buzzer, mayfly, French partridge

River: Parachute Adams, Klinkhammer, Teal blue and silver, Daddy, Lunn’s particular, hopper, Tup’s

The water temperature in the rainbow trout lakes is now registering over 18 degrees centigrade, so the catch and release option will now cease on those five waters for the summer. Water temperatures usually drop back below 18 degrees again around the third week of September, when the catch and release option can re-commence (we’ll let you know!).
For the rest of the summer, please now keep all trout you catch at Great Springs, Little Springs, Luffs, Upper and Lower Figgs. Do remember though, that carp can be caught (and returned) on the fly in Upper Figgs. Catch and release remains an option at Little Bognor and on the river.”
