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.

9th June 2024 - Brick Farm

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

16th May 2024 - Bewl

The Bewl boat competition was held during morning torrential rain and a bright, pleasant afternoon. Fishing wasn't easy but there were some very impressive catches.

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!
