West Sussex coarse fishing takes a break - but there's lots going on

It’s a shame because during these three months the countryside and spring weather is at its best, but in reality the fish spawn and the close season is important to their welfare and this rule is followed not only by Petworth & Bognor Angling Club but by clubs throughout the land.

That’s not to say you can’t go fishing – many lakes and ponds are open and the club’s website – www.sussexangling.co.uk – gives ull details.
