WATERSFIELD CAR PARK

The new Car Park has now been completed along with some other improvements to the access track and adjoining hedges. The former car parking area should no longer be used. The existing gate lock will remain to help access by foot only. The new Car Park is on the right hand side of the track - look out for the sign.

COULTERSHAW

It is noticeable that Coultershaw is producing more variety this year - good bags of chub have been reported by several anglers along with some decent Bream, Roach and Perch. Whether the anglers have changed habits (away from pellet etc) or perhaps the stocks are changing as the barbel spread out since the Loop was restored a few years ago. Please let us know if you have noticed any changes in your catches on the Rother this season whatever stretch you fish, the information could be useful to us and the EA in assessing the impact of the Shopham Loop Restoration.

For an archived report from Sept 2005 of the Shopham Loop Restoration please click here.

Pictured below is Rother Bailiff Mick Mills with a 5lb 14oz Bream he caught at Coultershaw recently.

SPOTTED AT FITTLEWORTH

Whilst fishing for chub late one evening recently one of our members is convinced he saw a Wild Boar on the opposite bank. Having done some research on the Internet and found that other sightings have been reported in the area in recent years we would be very interested to hear from anyone else who has been lucky enough to spot this still quite rare wild animal. Please use the contact links on the left if you have any info and of course we would be delighted if anyone has a photo they could send.

Incidentally our member apart from being lucky enough to catch a glimpse of this rare wildlife also managed to net a few chub.

HURSTON LANE - WORK PARTY 24 JULY

Unfortunately the weed has started to grow back in the Carp Pond so we are holding a Work Party at 6.00 pm on Thursday 24 July. Please try and get along to lend a hand.
