  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Species logged across East Sussex include European eel, brown trout, perch, roach and northern pike. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Read Crumbles Pond before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 17°C at the top of summer and 5°C at the bottom of winter. Fishing runs all year, with summer the awkward season. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Plan around that when you fish Crumbles Pond.
