A Late Trout Saves a Blank
I spotted a dimple under a bank. Probably another leaf, or something falling from the overhanging branches or nettles. The afternoon had not been productive, and although I had seen plenty of fish, they had been unapproachable with the river so low and clear here. Then it happened again. Definitely a fish, and it was busy taking something. By kneeling in the margin I thought I might just about cover it with a flick. Up went my nymph and a beautiful little wild trout snatched it immediately and went crazy, leaping into the air several times before eventually slipping into the waiting net. Sometimes one is enough.

The Club
The Club is a private one, founded in 1877, of approximately sixty-four members and six Town Rod subscribers. The Club’s waters consist of about 12 miles of wild brown trout & grayling fishing in the main River Frome, River Cerne and River Piddle, together with attendant carriers and side streams. The waters extend both above and below the town of Dorchester and the Club employs a part-time keeper.
