Feedback & Reports

I fished the ripples, the glides, the deep pools, the weir and not a sign of a fish; no tugs at the nymph, not a rise to be seen and not even one dashing away from my boots; not in the cloudy morning or the sunny afternoon.
The beat looks as if it is perfect for brownies, treed almost all along but not too overhung, yet cover in paces for fish to hide. The water was cool, flowing well and slightly coloured, but not so much you couldn't see the bottom in 2 feet of water. The location is isolated and quiet with only the sheep for company - idyllic.
I've had 3 attempts at the Arrow in 3 years on different beats with the same zero result. I think I'll leave it to anglers more skilled than me.
PARKING BEWARE! When parking to the left of the yew tree trunk, beware a large stump, hidden by vegetation that will take you bumper off. Don't go too far forward.

One of my favourite beats. New Zealand style with caddis on the top and pheasant tail nymph took 9 browns to 14 inches between the three of us

Bright day, little wind, but no fish. Tried a variety of dries but had no luck today

sunny day 20* No shortage of rising fish, but as far as fishermen are concerned, many of them seemed to be under a "Nil by mouth" orderer so it seemed despite our attempts to feed them. 5 trout between two rods on small dry flies and nymphs. best fish 1.1/2 lbs

Another short session and fish on the top. A bit fussy but lots of interest in various drys.

River looks great and the level was fine. A couple of fish moved, but nothing caught.
