River was stale. None seen.

After a hectic few days of shifts was ready for a wind down session on a river somewhere , so opted for the lovely Titley beat of the Arrow . . . . Got there about ten a nice day , bit blustery and reading eighteen degrees in my truck , tackled up my usual small streams outfit and tied on a tiny Parachute Greenwells see how things went , then bimbled down to the dirt of start of the beat . . .

Initially no responses and so changed to an Adam's still no takers in the usual haunts , so tried s nymph and first feisty fish , about eight inches slipped back in . . . Did then change back to Para Greenwells , as did see a splashy rise head if a pool , so careful casting and gad him !!!! Great stuff at last , nice ten inch fish too , quickly admired then released, likewise third fish took the Parachute dry with some gusto and last fish was just down from the weir in the faster water , also had two on and quickly off during my four hour session , fish ranged from seven to ten inches today. . . . .

A pleasant few hours on one of my favourite beats , didn't see the mink today which is a first fir here !!! Thouroughly enjoyable chill out , and four beauties to hand , tricky finding the brownies today , usually respond well to a prosoected dry but want to be today and had to really work and search out areas tight to the bank and pocket water , still great fun and back to this gem very soon . . . . . . . . Morrisons early bells tomorrow, get that dreary chore nailed , then get to another wild stream that needs a dry fly gracing its waters ha ha!!!!!!!!

Good day today despite the gusting wind. Majority of fish caught on nymphs during the morning, including a chublet by DC.
Hard work in the afternoon until and after trying various drys, a parachute Adams took a Brown trout. After that a 10” Grayling was also tempted and brought to hand.
DC witnessed what he believed to be a 12-14lb Salmon leaping out of the water on a couple of occasions.
Thanks to the Wye and Usk and owners.
