The Ouse Angling Preservation Society was formed in 1875, and gives access to coarse and game (mainly sea-trout) fishing on several miles of the River Ouse in the South East of England.

Their club waters begin about a mile and a half north of Lewes, through to the limit of the tidal reach at Barcombe Mills (including most of the Hamsey Cut). As well as Barcombe Mills Pool and surrounding streams they control a mile or so above this, and also have a stretch on the east bank by the Anchor Inn, including the weir. In addition to the main river they offer about a mile and a half on the Bevern Stream, from its confluence with the Ouse opposite Barcombe reservoir upstream to a point above Clappers bridge at Barcombe Cross. The Society shares waters with the Copthorne and District Angling Society, giving access to most of the River Ouse between the Anchor Inn and Newick, and some stillwaters in the Copthorne area.

Annual club permits run from May 1st and cost £55 with concessions available for seniors and juniors. Winter club permits run from Nov. 1st to March 14th and cost £30. Day tickets are available and cost £7 for adults and seniors, £3.50 for juniors.
