Two ponds called Batts Pond and West Town Farm Pond nr Hurstpierpoint.

 

*We have accepted an invitation to fish the River Adur at Sakeham Farm for the remainder of our current agreement at Olney,wich expires 31 DECEMBER 2011.

Access to Sakeham Farm is through Sake Ride Lane off the B2116 Wheatsheaf Rd, north of Henfield.  As you drive down Sake Ride Lane follow the signs via a right turn to Sakeham Farm. Do not drive through Fieldlands Farm. At all times be aware of free range cattle & horses.

On arriving at the farm you will see that there is a residential area comprising at least 9 dwellings, turn right & drive past a large green barn to the river.

Follow the country code & leave all gates as you find them.

PARKING. At all times display your club parking Disc (to be found at the insde back page of your membership book.)

There is parking for about 5 cars in a compound close to the river, look for club sign on fence. when this area is full you may park oppisite & adjacent to
the green barn, but NOT in the residential area. When parking leave space for large agricultural vehicles & trailers to pass.


 

River Adur
This is the view of our stretch of river upstream of Stretham Bridge. It is the lower end of the club waters on the river Adur. It is the most tidal section and contains most species of coarse fish. It is well known for big chub, carp and bream.
