Fantastic day with our guide Oliver. A challenging day with fewer trout rising the expected, however plenty to keep us interested and a good number of fantastic quality fish.

8 Trout

One Trout Approx 10oz caught on mayfly pattern And a few takes on a gold beaded PT nymph. Beautiful stretch of the river Arrow but only managed a couple of hours in the late evening Before loosing the light. Will return to fish the lower section next time

No fish. Very strange day with hardly a rise and very quiet. This is usually a prolific beat too. It is beautiful and wonderfully wild. WATCH out for nesting kingfishers.

River conditions were good , some mayfly early afternoon no fish caught and none seen. Fished for four hours.

Weather was fine, but only 3 rising fish spotted all day. Had one on a Mayfly, one other on something small white and scruffy. It was in a back eddy so hard to cast to. Footing quite tricky in places - take care.

Water was quite high, desperation to fish meant we persevered regardless. Two WBT caught one on a tungsten nymph and the other to a mayfly. Beautiful countryside.

Went along for a recce of the beat. Water quite high with nothing rising. Tried a few different nymphs without success.

Gorgeous small water beat! Lots of technical type casting but very easy wade. Fished above Titley bridge to the upstream boundary. Water was quite chilly and crystal clear. Turning a few rocks saw loads of caddis, a few stonefly and scuds galore. As the sun warmed the water, began to see quite a few caddis and mayfly buzzing about. Managed to catch 3 browns the biggest being nearly 12”.All three were caught on a Tungsten Surveyor size 16 with a 3.m bead. Would love to return to this beat with warmer weather and more normal flows.

Well decidedly nippy this morning out with the pooch ,.knowing the Arrow was running at a good height opted for the Lyonshall beat . . . Turned up at half nine still only reading seven degrees in my truck , kitted up and mooched to the start of the beat . . .

Hard work this morning and knowing it was a long shot , the Arrow being a late starter ; had three nice fish from Kington a few days ago !! Still lovely being out though . . . .

The two fish I did have this morning were still feisty little fellows one about six inches one about nine !!I must say the water here is still very cold , no wonder the fish seemed to be pretty thin on the ground . . . I'm sure another month it'll be a different story .Both the fish were caught on a deeply fished PTN . Other than those , nowt . . . But did only go up to the start of the woods area .

Plenty of insect life present around midday,.a few olives and nice to see anemones growing just past the wooden hut , they look fabulous !! Always a pleasure being on this beat , the kingfishers go.msd up and down , and their shrill call too , super!!!

Well a nice chilled out three hours sport , I'll be back here again in May , will try the Hindwell next week I reckon, see if they've woken up there !! Spot on . . . .

A still and quiet (very quiet) autumn day. Not a fin stirred.
