Enjoyable but very cold day, air temperature 3 degrees and a water temperature of 5.6 did not hold out to much hope of catching anything. Managed 3 welcome Chub, 2 caught on stick float and bread flake and the other to curry flavoured luncheon meat.

3 Chub

All seven grayling caught on maggots trotting. All fish caught on the bottom end of the beat. Tried nymphing after lunch but to no avail.

7 Grayling

Fished weighted nymph hoping for a Grayling but drew a blank. Water quite high still, not really suitable for wading so bank fished - hard going but still a good day on the river in decent weather.

Limited access not helped by barbed wire fence in 1st field, collapsed rotten stile, extensive tree cover and steep banks. 5 grayling and 1 trout all from same spot. Overpriced imo.

Trotting today, river at reasonable height (0.53 on Cilmery gauge), looked good. Odd small pockets of grayling here and there but had to cover a lot of river. Nothing of any size, largest around a pound.

2 Trout, 10 Grayling

Weather perfect . Very bright Sun , fields still frozen . Used nymphing and nymph indicator methods , but unfortunately no fish caught . River in lovely condition , water very clear with good flow . Will visit again at a later date.

2nd day. River still high and fast flow. 1 single bite on spam in morning. Zero fish landed.

River was at 0.61 fining down after recent floods. Some clarity, about 18 inches or so. Fished mostly euro for some decent sized fish. A tiny sporadic hatch of small uprights on a mild, sunny January day, but no risers. Not a bad venue. Will return

Great to get back out on the Arrow. Fished from 10am to 4pm, trotting maggots. Weather was good with some nice winter sun and milder conditions. River a little high 0.38m at Titley Mill.

Five grayling landed all around 10" to 12" and an out of season trout.
