Not even bite. But a lovely day on the river.

Water was Gin clear surroundings are absolutely stunning, 200 yards from car park and your on the river. Tricky wading in some place and flat gravel in others so very easy. This stretch got it all. Was a tough day but found a few fish in the end. 5 Grayling & 1 brown trout, Can’t wait to get up there in the summer casting dries for browns.

1 Trout, 5 Grayling

failed to find any grayling but enjoyed being on the river

Sub zero overnight with temp barely breaking zero all day - river still quite high but perfectly fishable.
Sadly no fish and no bites but still a good but rather chilly day

Interesting fishing with an electric fence running one side of the beat. -4 overnight and just above freezing on an overcast day when fishing started. No fish seen and nothing caught.

5 x grayling 12-17 inches, 1 x out of season trout 12 inches. A morning session, hard frost and grey skies. Not so much trotting today as laying on in slacks.

5 Grayling

Very cold day, even colder overnight. River running low and fairly clear. First time pike fishing in a long time. Had one run on deadbait late in afternoon but did not connect.
Great part of the river though, with some slow steady parts and some faster streamy water. Even a beach... sort of.

River at 0.4 and falling on Peterchurch gauge. Visibility about 2'. Arrived at 10.30 with the sun shining, but still chilly in the wind. No fish, but did spook a large trout in the tail of one pool. Tried nymphs in the deep pools, and duo in the shallower areas. Lots of activity on the adjacent range, with plenty of gunfire. Also an RAF Hawk making multiple passes, might have something to do with the elaborate drone they had flying about.

First time to the Arrow. Lovely river to fish, plenty of shallow runs into deeper pools. Fished nymphs and bugs but could not locate any grayling today. Water running pretty clear so fish likely to have been easily spooked.
I’ll certainly be back in the spring.
