Work Party and More at Storrington
If you’ve been up to Hurston recently you will have seen that despite all our efforts the carp pond has become seriously weeded again. Tim will be leading an assault on the tench pond this Wednesday (28th July) so that we can at least keep that fishable. If you can spare a couple of hours that evening please contact Tim at the shop.
Those that like to fish the carp pond, please bear with us as we will be having contractors on site this autumn to de-silt the carp pond and clear the weed. We will unfortunately have to close the whole venue for at least a couple of weeks while this is being done. We have not set dates yet but watch out for further information.

Illegal Fish Traps Found on Rother
We have had a problem with eel traps being discovered at Fittleworth,
fortunately someone in our Club recovered one but we need him to come
forward as the trap has an EA licence tag which will allow us to trace
the owner. We and the
Barlavington Estate need this evidence urgently because it is illegal to catch eels with a trap unless permission is
granted both by the landowner and ourselves as the controlling Club.
We would like the Member who found the eel trap early last week to please contact us urgently and ask all our members to keep a close lookout for anyone laying a trap, or report immediately if finding one on either the Rother or Arun. A vehicle registration would be helpful but we would urge all our Members to avoid any threatening confrontation.
Incidentally to protect threatened stocks a new Fisheries Byelaw was introduced on June 1st stating that all rod-caught eel must be returned to the water alive, including when they are taken from estuaries and coastal waters.

Watersfield Update
After negotiations with the tenant farmer and our landlords the access problems to the river have now been resolved. A new gate has been installed in the metal fence by the railway arch.
Please ensure that this gate and all other access gates are closed after entering and leaving the venue.

Hurston Lane Carp Pond
Unfortunately the weed in the Carp Pond at Hurston is making fishing very difficult once again this season. We desperately need as many volunteers as we can get on Thursday evening 24th June to get out the majority of the weed.
Please make the effort even if you don't fish at Hurston, the more that turn up will make it easier for everyone. We aim to start around 5:30pm but do come along any time after that, your assistance will be very much appreciated.
