A new work-party record was set today at the reservoir - 15 volunteers braved the mist and fog and came equipped with saws, rakes,...

So that's it for another year. No more Trout from the river (but still plenty in the Reservoir of course). Today was the last day, even...

You may well feel a bit frustrated at the state of the river lately, and it seems as if each time it starts to get down to a fishable...

The fly-tying season kicked off again last night at the Chequers Inn in Lamberhurst, and was well-attended as usual. Almost everyone...

Not a lot of fishing has happened recently, and the river is just about recovering from the serious rain a while back, but still staying...

After doing a lot of work down at Trottenden last week with Nigel and Keith (and his son), cutting back overhanging foliage and removing...

I suppose I have had a bit of a writer's block for a few weeks, but since everybody's away on holiday now, you probably didn't notice. ...

Has anyone spotted the club's drone patrolling the river yet? Yes it really does exist and it does do patrols, though maybe you're not...

Well, we did actually. Keith and I found this languishing down a very steep drop on the edge of the big inaccessible pool on the bend in...

Yes, another excellent Stranglers song, but also an opportunity to talk about gadgets! Some of you will have seen my rather clunky...

Did you know that as a member of TAOA, you can fish in crystal clear water with perfectly manicured banks, and less than 20 yards from...

Every now and then we get a tale of a big one that got away (mine was a 4lb Rainbow that escaped from the net - and I had a witness)....

Yes, another musical gem, and there certainly seem to have been plenty of Browns in the Catch Returns recently. That might be due to a...

What a lovely tranquil spot for a day's fishing! This was the scene on Beat 3c a few days ago, and I had a very pleasant few hours...

If you want to help Nigel find it, or even do something more useful on the river, now's your chance. We have a Work Party coming up this...

No, I didn't really think this was a trout, but apparently it did. It grabbed a Gold-head Damsel nymph, and failed to bite through the...

Since the river was at a very nice level today (31cm) I decided to revisit Trottenden (Beat 2a) in the hope of just a little bit of dry...

Apologies to those who are very familiar with this pest (no, not me), but in case you're new to the river and haven't encountered it...

It might have been the good weather, or Andrew's home-made sausage rolls, or Nigel's teas and coffees, or even the choc-chip cookies, but...

You've missed the last Fly-Tying evening of its first season, so you'll either have to do it yourself, or just buy them, and go fishing...
