One-way updates only. No public chatting, no spam. You can mute or leave the channel at any time.
What You’ll Get on the WhatsApp Channel
The channel is designed for busy anglers who want quick, honest info without endless scrolling. Expect short messages and the occasional photo or voice note when it adds value.
Flies That Are Working
Short notes on patterns that are producing – think CDC emergers, hoppers, small nymphs and buzzers – plus how we’re fishing them on the day.
Guiding Dates & Specials

Competition & Trip News
Updates about the Laverpa 2-day guided trip competition, future promotions and behind-the-scenes notes from real days on the water.
No Noise, Just Signal
This is a WhatsApp Channel, not a group: followers can’t chat or spam. Only Immersive Angling posts updates, so your phone stays sane.
Is This a WhatsApp Group?
No. It’s a WhatsApp Channel, which works more like a broadcast feed than a group chat.
- • Only Immersive Angling can post on the channel.
- • Followers can’t reply in the channel or see each other’s numbers.
- • You can mute updates if you prefer, or leave at any time.
- • Ideal if you want conditions & trip info without joining a chatty group.
- • Keep your main WhatsApp peaceful, but still stay in the loop.
If you’d like to chat about a specific date or trip idea, you can still reach out directly via the contact form or by calling Shayne.
