Forthcoming events - what's new?

Another year passes. The 2025 programme is being finalised but you can see the current state in the Events section. Always check there for up-to-date information.

It's now summer and so it's time for a break from the fishing. The next Ouse Valley event is a trip to Ashdown Forest Fishery on Sunday 21st September. But if you fancy a summer trip in the meantime and you want company, do mention it on the WhatsApp group.

25 May 2025 - Brick Farm

A breezy day with warm sunshine by lunchtime. The fishing was a little challenging, but most people caught without too much trouble. It was an enjoyable and relaxed day.

15 May 2025 - Bewl

This was the annual boat fishing competition, held in conjunction with events organised by the Sussex Flydressers and the Eastbourne Fly Fishers. It was a chilly day but the fishing was excellent - everybody caught.

26 April 2025 - Lakedown

The annual competition against the SFDG was held on a glorious spring day. Sadly only a small number of Ouse Valley members could be there to enjoy some excellent fishing and good company. Ouse Valley was soundly beaten this time - a 6lb brown and a 12lb rainbow put SFDG in an unassailable position!

30 March 2025 - Bewl

A small and select group fished this bank competition on a glorious sunny (but windy) day. The fishing was hard but it was a grand day out!

9 February 2025 - Coltsford Mill

A chilly day but good fishing for all - no blanks!

30 December 2024 - Brick Farm

We held our AGM in the warm of the lodge at Brick Farm and then we went fishing. There were some impressive catches!

17 November 2024 - Lakedown

This was the small water competition. There was a good turnout in the good weather. Fishing wasn't easy although a few people had the ability to find out where the fish were shoaling! Lots of fish were caught by the end of the day - and there were three fish over 4lbs.

15 September 2024 - Chalybeate

This event was preceded by slightly cooler days and so expectations were high. But the fishing was tough! This was supposed to be the annual small water competition but since few fish were caught it was decided to postpone this event to the Lakedown trip in November.

9 June 2024 - Brick Farm

Good fishing - everyone caught and there were some good fish too. A lovely day to be by the water.
