Complete waste of time! All of the banks and I mean all the banks are chest high with grass and undergrowth and banks that are accessible are steep drops of six feet. This stretch of river should be removed from this site

Down to one of my favourites this morning , the lovely little Edw .... and boy she was a bit low when I parked up ... did contemplate driving on to Hergest but I wanted a challenge and it's a while since I've fished this one so tackled up had a chat with the farmer on his quad , at the field entrance ........ he did say the rain had freshened up the river and was running a bit better .... he was most interested in the wild streams ... good to see ....any way on to the fishing!!

Opted for a Para Greenwells initially which had the desired effect ... good takes to it ... also fished a D.H.E. some olives about and mayflies from half eleven .... a mix of fish this morning ranging from six to eleven inches ... the usual handsome Edw chaps ! And feisty too .....

A lot of low water so I only fished up to the bridge , a fun two and a half hours and warming up quick when I got out and clambered up to the parking spot for a well earned cold diet coke out of my cool bag !!!! Seven crackers and a few missed made for a fun albeit quick morning....... jobs at home to get done while this cracking weather lasts ! Perhaps try an early one on the Arrow at the weekend .... Happy days !!!!!

Water v.low and clear. Cloud lifted mid morning and gave way to bright sunshine. Very few fish seen rising.
Got one fish to rise twice to a Parachute Olive but remained it unconvinced! Picturesque but very difficult beat.

4 caught using spinner and poly ball worm

Overcast to begin and caught 2, dry fly, black parachute, returned safely both under 1 lb. Got to bright later morning early afternoon and not much rising.

2 x trout 8 inches and 16 inches, Parachute Adams. River still down on its bones. One trespassing canoeist trying to come down the river sent up to the canal.
