Lovely sunny day but river shaded and lots of fallen trees.
However a really magical afternoon and evening. All fish over 8 ins and one 14 ins -very fit. Small wild stream fishing at its best.

5 Trout

11 x trout 6-9 inches, Rusty Klinkhammer. A cool, cloudy and windy day with showers threatening. Very little rising so mostly prospecting likely places - fished to the top but nothing large seen.

4 x trout 6-12 inches, size 18 Griffiths Gnat. I fished during the afternoon just between the two bridges (the bottom field) and hoped for some mayfly action. Instead, the trout were affected by "persistent black gnatitude" and generally the river was rather quiet except for the odd fish rising in glides.

4 Trout

Well over 30 fish from 4-14 inches. 3 fish weighing in at over a lb, one particular fatty pushing 1lb 12oz. fish from all the likely spots on size 16 tungstens and dry may flies after about 2 o clock, hitting the flies hard in the runs and in the pools, they really lost their inhibition. two tree falls in quick succession in the middle of the beat have ruined two pools but it can't really be much better than it was!

30 Trout

Cool, cloudy, breezy. River in good order. Half day Both fish small, on klinkhammer. Quite a few fallen trees in the river - legacy of winter gales?
A possible stand of Japanese knotweed on right bank inside first bend above Titley Bridge. I am no expert, and hope I am wrong, but I thought it best to report, just in case.
WUF Note: Many thanks for the report of possible JK - we will investigate.

No fish rising and did not get any takes on a dry fly or nymph. My excuse is that It was very hot and sunny.

Beautiful day probably to nice, fish feeding on arrival managed to net eleven from 11-13 inches in the time i was their.. the sun rose overhead and that was that not a single rise or any taken on nymph. fly on the water was very limited a few midges early on and a very small trickle of olives which none of the Arrow trout rose for.

Warm, sunny day but strong flow and colour after Monday's rain meant no fish seen but first Iron Blue on the wing. Floods have left big alders in all the pools. Skunk cabbage taken hold on the island, probably should be removed before seeding.

Really went to look at the new beat on the Arrow, some very fishy water in first half of the beat, but top end of the beat once into the woods has difficult access along the bank, and through the stream. Failed to make it to the top of the beat. Should image as banks grow up this will only get worse.
