River level quite low and would probably fish better with a bit more water. Some nice fish showing in the slacker sections, however very difficult to get a fy to them without spooking them. The two pools that top and tail the beat were the most fishable.

Well thought I'd sneak in a quick session prior to my onslaught of night shifts , so headed off to the Arrow at Kington ,getting there at half nine . Looking over the bridge river looked a picture , and was running at a lovely height with some upwings out on parade as well , nice to see . . .

I initially tackled up with my usual six foot two weight , and a 16 Parachute Adams , a lovely splashy take from the first pool , as I came out from under the road bridge ,feisty ten Inch fish , spot on !!!

Alternated between the dry Adams and a flashback PTN for the deeper pools , and that too was successful , although three did slip the hook this morning!! Ah well that's life . Last fish of the session was from the weir pool , again ditto in size, and the usual Arrow Markings on these gorgeous brownies .

The huge ash tree half way between the bridge and the weir is a nuisance to get around , although great to see some kind soul has cut the alder at the start of the beat , which opens up again that decent pool , lovely job !!!

The fish this morning ranged from.seven to ten inches and four made it to the net , a lovely chill out , cutting out from the weir and negotiating the four strand barbed wire fence which is hairy with expensive waders on . . . When I'm next here I'll bring some sand bags to wrap around the top and bottom strand , seeing as nothing has been done to aid anglers access etc etc !!!

A lovely morning , even though it was a quick session ,its set me up for my session of night shifts . . . Joyous ,cant wait !!! Back here before the end if the season . . . . .lovely job !!!!!
