An enjoyable day in the idyllic Arrow valley. Feeding fish hard to find and prospecting with nymph and dries did not produce. Maybe half a dozen places on the whole beat where I saw fish rising, mostly to very spasmodic mayfly in slow glides where a stealthy approach was difficult in the bright conditions and low water. There were swarms of mayfly dancing in the wooded area above the weir at the upstream end of the beat, no doubt on account of the silty section of water there and a few fish were rising below the weir to the ones washed over it. Stayed to last light in the hope of more evening activity, which wasn't significant and three missed takes to a mayfly was day's score. Otter spraint in a couple of places and a deceased crayfish found on the river bed.

A lovely day on the Arrow at Titley, It was nice to be out at last. Unfortunately, probably to nice a day, I saw 3 fish all day. Plenty of insect life, even a mayfly hatch, but no takers. Had to leave earlier than expected, so I would guess the fish would have started to rise during the evening, opportunity missed I think

Short version: I was blown off the river. The wind was just too strong. Longer version: Arrived at 10.30 and there were already hatches trickling off (olives and a few mayfly). But not a single rise all day. I tried all - nymphs, emergers, dries - but no luck all day. And frankly, casting in that wind was nearly impossible. But its a beautiful beat. Another time...

Very sunny and bright day. Plenty of Mayflies hatching but only saw 4 fish rising all day. Great to be out on the water all the same.

Didn't see either a single fish, or even any evidence of one - no discernible rises. Nevertheless, an enjoyable day in splendid countryside. There were a few late rising Mayflies on the river.

Easy to forget Covid with a few hours concentrating on this beautiful Arrow beat. 10 WBT 6-11 inches . Initially on dries then prospected nymph when the sun came out.

Saw plenty of mayfly but no rises at all.

Low and clear. no fish seen or caught in bright conditions. Lots of flies hatching. Will return for an evening stint to see if its any better.
