Feedback & Reports

Well with Mrs A. Working till two today , and the garden chores up to speed , thought I'd slip in a quick session on the Arrow . . . . Opted for the Kington beat , nice and local , was reading fifteen degrees in my truck when I parked up at the bottom bridge location , and that annoying gusty breeze ggggggrrrrrrr!!!!

Fishing was fun from the off , prospecting a small Para Adams in likely haunts , and covering the odd rise to , the usual slapshy takes from the Arrow fish , and some nice tubby sporting brownies today too , some off twelve inches , but the majority today were between eight and ten inches . . .

Had four up passed the weir , and did actually have five little fish from the weir pool , fast as lightening , and didn't count them in the days tally , as only about four inches !!!!! Great fun on a two weight rod still !!!!

Up past the weir , as mentioned in another report , only one area which is a huge debris / log jam , past there , and pools and runs are good to go again , and still great sport , and good dry fly water , had another three brownies from that stretch , two long range releases also , and got out just by the Farm complex , a fun three hours , nine Arrow beauties brought to the net , could definitely do with some more water now , big time in fact , to raise the levels , and flush out some of the algae that is forming on rocks etc , as usual , great fun here , nice quick session , back soon !!!!!!

had a few hours today 11.30 a.m - 2.pm nymphing . 25 to hand and lost a few more. all trout fell for 2mm size 18 baetis with a hint of orange at the thorax. there were a few rises but never switched as they were hitting the nymph hard. size between7-10 inches with two at 5 inches. the mosquitos are hitting hard also! wore long sleeves and the little blighters dined on my hands.

Caught one trout almost straight away, plenty of fish on the western side near the car park closest to the damn wall. Rain set in so I left but I'm sure I could have had one or two more

A bit cooler today and strong downstream wind. Started with dry fly but soon gave that up as casting and control was pretty impossible in the wind. Fishing a Copper tungsten nymph in the heads of the pools got plenty of attention.
Landed 6 Trout of around 6 inches missed and lost plenty more.

Plenty of fly life but not many rises

Fishing very poor. Although there were several anglers along the bank I didn't see anyone catching or any fish moving for that matter!

River very low so fished for an hour and then moved to different beat
