“The hot, bright conditions kept many members away last week, yet the Rother thankfully managed to stay below 17 degrees centigrade. Later in the week, heavy downpours were very welcome, to help cool things down.


Successful flies at the brown trout lakes: Daddy, CDC buzzer with f-fly, orange partridge, black spider, gnat, PTN, Goddard.
At the river: Griffiths gnat, GRHE, Mayfly, PTN, Klinkhammer.”

“Fish were rising well at Little Bognor over the weekend, a stealthy approach and a fine tippet with either a buzzer or a dry fly produced good results.”
