Feedback & Reports

Very heavy rain overnight left the river practically unfishable. One very small brownie taken and returned. When river is running this high precluding wading along the river the access along the bank is impossible due to fences.

River up and coloured, no fish seen or caught. Mostly overgrown so casting tricky. The Abbey is well worth a visit.

Very wet ( muddy ) challenging day- couldn't get to the parking areas without a 4 x 4 ! wading through 6-8" of mud through the farmyard. Eventually fished a few hours at the top end, two nice barbel, lost two others & my companion lost one at the net.

After a wet week my fishing companion and I feared the worst but were pleasantly surprised to find the Arrow in eminently fishable condition, ideal for trotting maggots. However, I failed to connect with any grayling although I did land four out of season trout -6", 2 x 9" and one of 12"- and contrived to lose a bigger fish at the net. My companion persevered with the top weirpool but had only one small trout for his efforts, so moved downstream and landed a nice 12" grayling - our last fish of the day as the forecast heavy rain set in.
