The\u00a0Dorset Chalk Stream Club\u00a0will have its November social gathering in\u00a0West Stafford Village hall (DT2 8AG) on Friday the 6th November 2026 starting at 7.30pm.<\/p>\n

Guest speaker \u2013 Dan Osmond – www.peacetroutandunderstanding.com<\/a> <\/p>\n

The landscape of the British Isles have been mined for millennia, which now leaves a legacy of mine water pollution in many rivers. Trout have long been observed to persist, recolonise and even thrive within these polluted environments: how do they do it? Dan\u2019s talk will examine this question, using a variety of genetic methods to understand the process and implications of adaptation to post-industrial landscapes. Dan has also recently published a book, \u2018Peace, Trout, and Understanding: A Student\u2019s Guide to Fishing in the Anthropocene\u2019 and will touch upon the themes of this collection of writing.<\/p>\n

Please bring a plate of good food to pop on the buffet table, a bottle of your favourite tipple, sorry to say the The Wise Man Inn is currently closed \ud83d\ude41 <\/p>\n

Bring along any of your unwanted tackle, flies and books to sell on the second hand tackle table, and if you would like to have a stand (FOC), just give me a ring 01305 257490 or ping me an email \u2013 john@riverworks.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

Please bring friends along to meet fellow chalk stream and fly fisher folk.<\/p>\n

Entrance for this winters gatherings will again be free of charge.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Dorset Wildlife Trust<\/a>\u00a0through the\u00a0Dorset Wild Rivers Project<\/a>\u00a0have again very kindly sponsored the hire of the village hall for the \u00a0Dorset Chalk Stream Club<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
