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 !!!!!

Arrived at 7am to find a herd of bulls in the first field that you cross, so proceeded with caution around them and hopped over the electric fence. Started at the bottom end and bumped into a nice trout on a olive coloured nymph followed by 2 small grayling in the same pool. I then proceeded to fish like plonker and just couldn't get into a good rhythm for the rest of the beat. Manage one more small trout and a small grayling.
A new large fallen tree about 70m below the bridge is blocking the whole river. Also still 6-7 other large fallen trees along the beat that haven't been cleared.
Finished at noon and gave myself a good talking to haha ????

Fished from about 13.00 to 16.30 Bright and breezy.
9 trout on nymphs 6 to 12 inches plus plenty of parr.
A large Oak tree is in the river just above Hergest bridge,looks like it could cause trouble.
Also found a good quality folding net which could be reclaimed through the booking office.
