Well looked a promising day and with us now being allowed to travel further afield I opted for the Kington beat, one of my old favourites !! Its like a big mug of Horlicks here !!!!! Already 11 degrees when i parked up at the bridge at ten . . Running as clear as Ludlow Gin and at a nice height , when I got in , noticibly still very cold . . . .

Fished various nymphs the two hours I was there and first fish a goooooooooood fish for here,.a twelve inch cracker on my own GRHE , half way up the beat in a deep pool !!! Nice !!!

Second from another deep pool on a hot orange tiny nymoh , good take and another good ten inch powerful fish . Lovely Arrow markings as always. . . . Last one in another deep pool just down from the weir ,. Again a nice tubby ten inch fish , superb. They still haven't really woken up here as water is very cold ,but that aside did see some insect life and upwings at about half eleven . A fun two hours ,only went io to the weir ,.as wanted to crack on with the garden this afternoon . So packed up at twelve, and a slow mooch back to the truck . The field this season is thankfully crops , so no feisty cattle to deal with , along with the three strand barbed that still hasnt had an exit point made by the weir ????? A lovely Spring morning in the upper Arrow valley,.and three brownies to the net , lovely job !!!

Fished on the home patch here on the middle Wye at Bredwardine today. Having seen very few LDOs and no Grannom nor March Browns so far this month, once the mist burnt off at about 11 a.m. and the sun finally came out, Mr G finally made his first appearance of the year! Not a lot nor yet enough it seemed, to get the fish onto them but, when a short hatch of MBs appeared an hour or so later, a few fish really nailed them. Had four trout and grayling on a couple of MB emerger patterns - spring is sprung! The arrival of the sand martins also heralded this “2021 awakening” - long may it continue post-lockdown. 22 degrees when I left.............but not for much longer it seems. Tight lines.

Access roads in very poor condition.

Very quiet fishing did see some fish caught but with the water so high it was not very productive the state of the track is dangerous especially for those with limited mobility and could stop people fishing. If I had not been able to help my brother get down to the water he would have probably gone home

Warmest day of the year so far. River full but running clear. Nothing moving, so fished PTN deep. All changed at 2pm with a hatch of olives and everything went mad for half an hour with fish rising on the flats.
