Good day fish rising, very pleasant all round.

A perfect hour of late evening fishing after a long day in the car. A fish would have been icing on the cake, but no matter. There were a few small trout rising, but very spooky in such low water.

I seemed only able to find small chub rising in a couple of places. The cold wind in the evening reduced any chance of a decent hatch so it was a bit of a disappointment. Watched a nice tree creeper though.

After a 20 year absence I restart my learnings on a beautiful stretch of the Arrow and a rank amateur I now remember I was. The river was somewhat cloudy with a few trout rising to a modest mayfly hatch. I tried Grey Wulffs and Adams all to no avail.
A relaxing and de-stressing couple of hours in picturesque Herefordshire: Lovely - now where's the pub...

A delightful evening but no fish this time.

A good evening with fish rising to may flies. Caught 1 chub. I also rose and lost other fish.

River was in good condition, very sunny but cool breeze, not much hatch, no real sign of fish.

One wbt 13",caught during a splendid mayfly afternoon/ evening.

2 wbt (on dry fly) caught and returned. Abundant fly life but very coloured water following yesterdays heavy rain.

First time on my Wild Stream Season Ticket and more than happy with availability and the ease to check on waters, process is very good.
The water downstream of the weir was very difficult to access, a lot of fallen trees/branches and overhung branches in the way of some good looking swims. Upstream of the weir swims were easier to fish but poor bank access once again restricted where you could manoeuvre into position - more work is required to place cross over points along the ditches and boggy areas in the top meadows + covered barbed wire access points would be good in the chest wader department.
From a fishing perspective, the river was in good trim and fished reasonably well - 2 WBT from the weir pool in the morning on a tungsten nymph + 1 WBT taken on a dry in the top pool before lunch. The afternoon produced a good sized Grayling upstream of the weir on a tungsten nymph and then 3 WBT on a dry in the top pools.
There wasn't a significant hatch but enough activity to suggest it will fish better given warmer conditions.
A nice little beat & next time will probably combine this with another beat such as Court of Noke or Eardisland on the day.
