As part of the ongoing management plan at
Goose Green, we have and will continue to plant native plants & trees to
encourage insects, birds and animals to the area, in fact during the development
of the fishery many people commented on the number of trees that were cleared,
what they were probably not aware of, is that for every tree removed, (and 90%
of it was scrub willow), we planted at least four trees to replace it, one
planting session saw over 500 saplings and whips being planted in less than a
day and we are pleased to say that the vast majority of these trees survived and
are now thriving. The wooded area area between the car park & Kingfisher pond is now maturing very nicely, with the larger tree species starting to grow tall and the under storey of Hazels and shrub plants thriving, this area alone has over the past three years been witness to the delight that is the Nightingale, who, along with many other birds have nested and raised their broods at Goose Green We have recorded many different species of birds and animals at the fishery, the below list shows just what has been recorded in the past few years and excludes insects, of which which there are more resident species than we can count, some of the species of birds and animals witnessed at Goose Green are:

We don't of course limit ourselves to just
looking after Goose Green, we spend a lot of time & effort working in
conjunction with our
landowners and/or at our landowners request at our other fisheries, be this
removing Himalayan Balsam on the rivers, establishing reed & weed beds, building
and repairing sluice gates and dams through to heavy tree removal work, at
some fisheries we are very much limited as to what we can do due
to legal restrictions such as SSSI's and of course the wishes of our landowners. |

The Bream fishing is of a very good standard with fish to 8lb and bags of 50lb not uncommon. Two of our members caught 54 Bream in one session with the largest weighing 6lb 12oz and the smallest 4lb with 2 bonus Tench of 6lb! This catch is not an everyday occurrence but it can be done. By the way, for those of you who have only caught lake Bream, river Bream are a different kettle of fish fighting wise. We have many different stretches and types of swims at Pulborough Angling Society so it’s not all feeder fishing. A good days fishing can be had trotting a stick float or fishing a waggler for Roach Dace and Chub and a 2lb perch is not uncommon, to my knowledge a 3lb 2oz fish has been caught in the last couple of years to the trusty lob worm. If you catch the Arun right and you do your homework on the tides, swims etc. YOU too could have a red letter day in the most beautiful surroundings. For those members who have not tried the Arun, Pulborough Angling Society has some super stretches, all of which are tidal and best fished on the down tide in my experience. To work out high tide add 3 hours to the Littlehampton time for Greatham, 3 ½ hours for Washingham and 4 hours for Pulborough approx. If you decide to fish the Arun let us know how you get on.
