Special thanks to Poppett for the delicious cakes

Many thanks to the volunteers who arranged the day. The members and guests enjoyed the fine weather in beautiful surroundings and a lot of trout were caught.

Whilst the lake fishing became more challenging, the large mayfly hatches transformed our stretch of the Rother! We had all been hoping for a repeat of last May’s great sport and our prayers have been answered! As can be seen from the returns above, it was an exceptional week on the river:

Successful flies included:

Rainbow trout lakes: Mayfly, Daddy, Grey Wulff, Black gnat, GRHE, Hawthorn, Buzzer.

Brown trout lakes: Gnat, Buzzer, Olive nymph, Spider, Firefly.

River: Mayfly…. White and grey Wulffs, GRHE, Klinkhammer, Olive and blue Dunn, Gold head PTN, Black gnat.
