Introduction
The Copthorne & District Angling Society is a traditional, non commercial Society established more than 80 years ago, based in Copthorne.
Local to Copthorne the society has 5 lakes and another to the west of Crawley. The club also has access to 8 miles of the Sussex Ouse shared with the Ouse Preservation Society. None of this is heavily fished indeed on some sections of the Ouse I’ve never seen another angler. All the lakes are privately located with no access for the general public so have a truly away from it all feeling. This is the same for the Ouse except in a couple of places where there are lightly used public footpaths.
There is also a lively match section with matches most weeks both within the club and with other clubs.
