What a cracking day! Bright sun and a gusty east wind should have rather spoiled our chances, but mid morning saw the first serious hatch of Alder and the trout were going mad for them. Some big fish too as you can see from the pics. Well done to all who took part and particularly […]

Trout Season opens.
Don’t you just love the weather! Week before opening day and there is 18 degrees, warm sunshine, frogs spawning all over the lakes and the first serious fly hatches whilst we stocked the lakes. Then on opening day winter returns with driving wind and rain almost all day. Nevertheless two of the rods braved the […]
Happy Christmas
The salmon have run, the season is done, the rods all put neatly away. Not much left to do, other than re-whip and glue, line loops and leaders all frayed. Then sit at my vice, trying to tie something so nice that it earns a place in my box but most lack the lustre to even begin to […]
Courses 29th & 30th March 2016
Despite storm Katie’s best efforts to spoil the fishing for my novices on Tuesday and Wednesday by dirtying the water with the run off from over an inch of rain, we were very successful. The fish were well up in the water feeding on buzzer and some early olives and we managed to get everyone […]
Trout season opens!
We opened the new trout season at the Farm yesterday and what a cracking day. Chris J, ever the early bird, was down at the lakes by 7.30 and even though it was still pretty cold, he connected after about half an hour, landing our first trout of the season. […]
New season approaches!
Nearly there! The new season starts for us at the Farm on Friday with the new syndicate still in its infancy – not too late to join! The water is clearing after the deluge of a week ago and seems set fair for the time being and the fish all went in and away safely. The […]
New Trout Syndicate at the farm.
At Little Saxbys Farm, I have two small lakes set in the stunningly beautiful Wealden countryside where I have traditionally offered a variety of fishing and instruction. The lakes are stocked both with rainbow and brown trout, insect life is prolific and I have an impressive hatch of Mayfly in the Spring which gives some […]
Trout course 27th March 2015
It has been a late spring here at the farm – the frogs in the lakes have still not yet spawned. The weather has kept water temperatures down, which is a good thing, but also the anglers away. Just two novices for my first course of 2015, Ray and Paul braved the rain in the morning […]
Trout Courses & Fishing spring 2015
I have just posted up dates for three trout courses and some available dates for groups wanting to come and enjoy a day fishing for trout here at Little Saxbys Farm in the Spring. Click here to book It is worth mentioning that whilst some think it would be nice to wait for warmer weather, the […]
