Feedback & Reports

No fish caught and few signs that said was there 11-16:00. What great place to spend a few hours trying to fish. Access from parking to downstream limited was a little difficult but still a cracking day.

What a great beat, the weather was perfect and the river on top form. I took 3 perfect brownies one 6 inch,one a touch bigger, and one beast of about 14 inches. All were from the same run on a small dry daddy. All returned in perfect health.

River coloured but could still see the bottom caught on nymphs high sticking at close range. Lost 6.

lovely day perfect conditions, lot of mayfly hatching but caught all fish on size 14 CDC emerger, most quite small with 3 or 4 really nice fish in the one to two pound bracket, amazing fly life

Part of the Wild Streams Day organised by the Lugg and Arrow Foundation.
River a little coloured but pretty good conditions. No real surface action till two nice fish spotted rising under the far bank. So managed to get both on a Grey Wulfe. Others on a submerged nymph.Difficult day with too bright sunshine.
Enjoyed the gathering and felt the day did a lot to encourage beginners.

Nothing caught nothing seen. This section looks perfect and should be teeming with life but it seems to be baron.

Fished for two hours using gold bead nymph. No fish seen and no takes. A little disappointing although weather cold.

3 to hand one at 12 inches, one at 16 inches and one at 20 inches. Also 3 about twelve inches lost to hook pulls. massive hatch of olives between 1-2 pm and not a single rise anywhere to be seen in fact other than in two pools there was no activity on the whole of the beat.. it is still very cold around Kington. I left home and it was 6 degrees and arrived an hour later and it was only 3 degrees. Cold rain also made fishing quite miserable.. first time on this beat and it is lovely to look at, I feel come May, it should fish well but sadly the way this spring is going who knows. Today felt like a mid January day..

Blustery day, with a strong flow, no fly-life. Caught a good 1.5 lb brown on a gold-head PTN fished deep and missed another good take.
