Recent club events

27th April 2024 - Lakedown

This was the annual competition against the Sussex Flydressers and I'm pleased to say that it was another win for Ouse Valley. Fishing was rather difficult but many fish were caught before it started raining in the late afternoon.

24th March 2024 - Bewl

The Bewl bank competition attracted a small group of enthusiastic members who braved the annoying wind, enjoyed the absence of rain and who caught a good number of fish.

11th February 2024 - Coltsford Mill

A really good turnout and good fishing with big fish made this a very enjoyable day.

29th December 2023 - Brick Farm

We held our AGM in the Brick Farm lodge and then started fishing - full bags for everyone, I believe!

12 November 2023 - Lakedown

Fishing was easy for some, really difficult for others - but it didn't rain much and it was a most enjoyable day for all. The beer helped!

22 October 2023 - Ashdown Forest

A good turnout, excellent weather and good fishing (a rod average of 3) - an excellent day out despite two broken rods!

4 October 2023 - Moorhen

Fishing venues needing long car journeys are always problematic - attendance at this event was very small. It was a great day, productive fishing and a delightful fishery.

17 September 2023 - Chalybeate

This was the annual small water competition and it was held on the first day of cooler weather after a spell of great heat. The fishing wasn't easy, but I'm pleased to say that several people managed to catch their limits.

5 July 2023 - Brick Farm

We made this one an afternoon/evening event, expecting the afternoon to be tough fishing. The evening turned out to be tough too!

10 May 2023 - Bewl

The Ouse Valley Boat competition was held in conjunction with the Sussex Flydressers and the Eastbourne and District Fly Fishers. A tough day with lots of fish lost. Excellent company and a warm, bright and pleasant day ended by some wild wind and rain.
