Powdermill Reservoir is located near
Sedlescombe on the borders of East Sussex and Kent and was constructed to provide water
to the Hastings area. On completion of Powdermill reservoir in 1932, Hastings Fly Fishers
Club was formed by a small group of like minded local anglers who have leased the fishing
rights ever since.
The 56 acre reservoir is stocked with rainbow trout of exceptional quality
which have a reputation for being hard fighting and well proportioned fish.
These rainbows are bred and reared by a hatchery in the West Country and although
there are sources nearer to us, we believe that these are the best stocks available.
There is also a good head of resident brown trout which should be returned when caught.
Although the membership of the club is small, it is very active and growing all the
time. New members are always welcome, as are visiting day-ticket anglers who will
find that club members are always happy to pass on current information concerning
where to fish, tactics and flies to use.
Powdermill reservoir also has a reputation for exceptionally good Mayfly hatches
and the reservoir is very busy when news of the hatch gets around.
Although some anglers prefer to bank fish, the boats are extremely popular.
A wheelie boat is also available.
The reservoir is open all year round for fly fishing from the bank, but boats
are only available from early March to the end of October. |
