Lovely stretch for wild browns, good fly hatch, very windy and showers. upper section of the beat full of fallen trees, creating some intersting casting challenges and deep pools

Lovely evening. Mayfly out and some rises but not takes or catches.

Tough day in windy and quite cold conditions. The carp really weren't interested and I only managed one of around 9lb on method feeder.

Friday 5 June 2020 Great to be able to fish again in Wales after such a lengthy lay-off thanks to COVID-19.
Thanks to WUF for their hard work during this challenging time.
Conditions: River in great crystal-clear condition after short period of rain 24hours earlier. Air temp: 13.5°C Water temp: 16°C Partly cloudy Squally gusts from the “East”
Remembering –
Wind from the West, fish bite the best.
Wind from the East, fish bite the least.
Wind from the North, do not go forth.
Wind from the South blows bait in their mouth.
Catch:
Lady Alexanders pool
4 Brownies on Hares Ear Fly (+ many takes).
Limited fly life
Thanks again to WUF for their great organisation and for their hard work

Perfect temperature, good flow, but far too windy.
Saw several rises and fish jumping, but unable to get any accurate casts due to the wind.

Blustery day, sunshine, showers, the wind made casting tricky at times. Hatches throughout the day but very few fish rising and those that did were small. One of which took a small unweighted ptn drifted in the surface film.
Two grayling took a beaded grhe the largest of which was about 2lbs. Nothing better than catching a personal best on a home tied fly! All the fish were in great condition with no marks or scars.
The river was in great condition and levels were good. Swallows, Swifts, Dippers, Wagtails feasting on the hatches and a Kingfisher hurtling back and forth. Then as I was headed for home Otters in the Ash Tree pool! Even losing two decent sized trout couldn't take the edge off a wonderful 1st day out in what has been a trying year. Tight Lines.

This is the first year I've fished the Arrow, what a lovely river! Fished 3-5pm. Fish rising regularly. Caught a few small fish (Klink and Dink- all took the GRHN). I might have fared better in my younger more nibble years and with a 7 foot rod!
