Fishing/Casting/Fly Tying Members Day
The weather was perfect for the occasion and it wasn’t long before John & I were set up and trying out his 9wt fly rod that he uses for bass fishing.
Rob Ayles & Dave Rabson (waiting list) were first to arrive and soon after that Doug Pritchard dropped in.
It wasn’t long before we had the nets and magnifying lenses out looking at the insect life that the trout feed on. We found BWO nymphs, alder fly nypmhs, mayfly nymphs, some huge caddis and we even had one small olive hatch while still in the tray! We spent the next hour paddling in the water inspecting our catch – a very enjoyable morning.
The Catch!

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.
