Working Party
First work party of the year and we worked hard up from Whitfield Hatches clearing over hanging trees and bushes. Shame more people didn’t turn out because with more help we could have achieved so much more.
We also checked out the trout hatchery which is helping to boost the natural head of trout. We could see there where many swim-up-fry in the box and shoals of small fish all round the hatch box. It wasn’t until I checked the video at home that I realised the vast majority of these little fish where minnows!!
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.
