Dorset County Show
Many thanks to John Pritchard (brother of Doug) for producing the artwork for a new Club sign… http://www.indigocoms.com/
The Club has been offered a stand at this years Dorset County Show on 1st & 2nd September. We will be part of the country sports area, promoting the Club’s 130 year association with the River Frome.
We can show pictures of all our work improving the habitat, history of the Club, fly tying & casting demonstrations, plus river life (ie. bugs & beasties!) etc.
We have ideas, we have a date and now we need a few volunteers! Please help if you can; you don’t have to be an expert fly tier or entomologist to help.

This is a chance to show the public that fishermen do not just catch fish, but also care and nurture the rivers that they fish.

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.
