Great day on this lovely beat. Some superb fish caught with both Grayling and Trout to 2lbs.
All fish were caught using a team of Czech nymphs on a Euro line.

10 Trout, 6 Grayling

River crystal clear and good level. Warm day with very little westerly breeze and sunny. LDO trickle hatch from 11:30 but fish did not rise to them. From 12 till 13:30 there was a fantastic hatch of MB and the trout were hammering them on the surface. Between the 2 of us we had 22, the smallest 3/4lb and the largest 2.5lb. Fantastic day’s fishing!

Worked hard for my 2 lovely trout, one on the dry and one on 'yellow-bodied' nymph. Blue skies and strong sunshine didn't help the fishing but certainly made for a very pleasant day.

Superb weather again today , so was a real bit of excited delirium , when I tackled up about elevenish near the yew tree at the Titley beat . Had a wee chat with the nice old dear from Forge Farm cottage , who always answers the door with nothing on her feet , may be the Herefordshire cider doing that !!!!!!!!!Crossed the footbridge , water running at a nice height , and clear as gin , spot on me thought !!!!!!

A few March browns and grannom's already showing , things looked really really good . . . . As I initially fished a couple of small goldbead nymphs , they were working well in the clear water , and as I mooched upstream , it was three hours later that I got my first and only brownie , a fish of about six inches , tail of a deep pool , nowt so much as another touch , which was a shame , and no rises either . . . . . And by oneish there was a good trickle of LDO's and March browns showing , tantalisingly trouty on the water , but they left unscathed . . .

Only a feisty little minnow was the other wee fish too have a bash at the nymph , nice to see something in the Arrow has a bit of spirit !!!, I didn't actually see any trout movement at all even from the heigh banks with Polaroids on , not even one !!!! Still way too early for the main movement of the finny tribe in the Arrow me thinks , and one small fish saved the day . . .

Did see two mink walking back down the fields to my truck , they looked in good shape and really two , is two too many to be honest !!!!! But still good to see , , dippers , kingfishers , butterflies , yes things are rosey in the Arrow valley , shall give this beat threeweeks or so , before another bash , still superb being out in such Spring like weather , spot on !!!!!!!
