Very, very low and nothing seen. Fished the lower beat for an hour or so on a lovely warm evening - lots hatching. Rain forecast for next week! ????

Did not fish due to low water, bright sunshine and an easterly wind.

Only one fish moved and one other seen, conditions were perfect but pretty obvious that the local Otter & mink population have been dining well. An abundance of Spraint showing signal crayfish predominance but almost certainly fish stocks are affected heavily at present.

Fished 11:00 to 15:00. Unseasonably warm and bright for April.

Picked up fish on spiders from 12:00 onwards. March browns came off in good numbers from about 12:30 and the riffles fished well for half an hour.
All quiet when the hatch ended, with a few fish prospected from the fast water on duo.

Started the day at a buddies farm over Herefordshire, having a recce for some bunny bashing, later on in the Summer, then onwards to the Arrow at Whittern. Fished quickly between the two bridges, nothing looking up in that hour and a quarter, river at a great height, could perhaps do with a flush through, fish will be looking up very soon here !!
Onwards to s favourite local beat, thd Edw .... Fished from three till five . Plenty of insects to keep them looking up !!! Had some fun in the pocket water... fast as adders, managed five to the net ... only small chaps great fun on the dries though ......
A real Spring day with lambs, snakes head fritillary bordering the Artow, and watching a pair of dippers which was amusing...A fab couple of hours on what Is now nearly a river on its bones !!!! In April too ...But, the long range forecast does look more like April. With heavy showers and supposedly prolonged boughts of rain!!! We shall see ....Right, lots of leg work done, cider time !!!!! Lol .....

Red letter day, on the dry and nymph, numerous trout and grayling, many more missed. Again fabulous day on this beat in excellent weather.

All caught on the bottom with worms. Had no joy with a fly. Could see a few rising just after 8AM but to no avail. Was very calm on the water. All very well fighting fish and always a pleasant day out.
