Feedback & Reports

Whilst there appeared to be a fairly large number of flies hatching, and on the surface of the river, few fish were rising to them. i noted one fairly large salmon leaping out of the water - probably 6lb+ - and a couple of decent size trout, but otherwise, not much at al. Enjoyable day nevertheless.

One brown trout caught on worm by my son from the A470 side.

A guided day for a very pleasant chap who was from Herefordshire ... plumbed for an old favourite as the gent wanted to be shown the ropes on a wild stream, and was totally new to the whole experience of the confines of the stream, reading the water, where the trout are likely to be positioned in the river etc etc etc .... he took it all on board very well to be fair........
The Arrow was as blissful as ever and good to see still sitting at a reasonable height considering we've has no rain fir quite some time now !!! Cooler today, when I parked up at nine by the Whittern bridge it was reading 10 degrees in my truck !!
Olives and mayfly really got going at about half twoish ... My client did present his dry fly offerings very well and was rewarded with a few plump feisty Arrow fish ..... those markings are incredible !! Stunning as always, fish today ranging from eight to eleven inches . As mentioned before by previous reports some very professional tree work has been done ..... can that same team do up at the Kington beat of the Arrow....... I can almost hear her saying ...... don't forget me !!!!!! Tis a cracking job that's been done and no brash or branches left behind at all .... good to see .... healthy for the stream I'd say as there are young ones left behind , they'll soon offer a canopy.... the opposite bank is still the same so its just about perfect now !!! Must admit didn't see too many risers , but the ones that did come up were fun for my client .... all in all a really pleasant few hours and a gent that's well and truly hooked ..... what could be better ! Off to The Ponderosa and a well earned bottle of Old Speckled Hen I think, cheers folks !!

7 trout caught on dry fly but many more takes missed. You need your wits about you as takes can come at any time and can be very close. The conditions were very bright with an upstream breeze. Wish I had put more Sun cream on. An amazing day. All fish were taken on a small march brown soft hackle.
