16 November 2025 - Ashdown Forest

A tough day's fishing at a pretty fishery. It was a relaxed and sociable day for the small number of Ouse Valley members who were there.

26 October 2025 - Lakedown

The small water competition was held again at Lakedown. It was a glorious day, clouding over in the afternoon.  The fishing wasn't completely easy but everyone caught and we had a good lunch sitting outside with a beer and sunshine.

5 October 2025 - Moorhen

A good number made the journey to this pretty fishery. The fish were certainly there in profusion, but thay rarely showed any interest in flies placed in front of them. But it was a great day, much enjoyed by all.

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!
