Beautiful beat, and although some olives were hatching there was no sign of any trout feeding (although I was only there for the morning), andI didn't have any interest in nymphs or dry flies. The current was still very strong after recent rain, and a bit coloured. Not sure whether it was that, the late spring, or perhaps the sunny conditions were keeping fish down deep.

Disappointing day, river running well with slight colour, but almost nothing hatching and I did not see or touch a trout all day. Tried all methods but river just seemed dead. Stretch above the first footbridge through the woods is well overgrown and v. difficult to fish, although it opens out again above the woods.

I have not fished this beat before. It is a good stretch of water, however the levels were a touch high and still a bit coloured which meant wading needed care. Due to many trees along the length you have to do a fair amount of walking to wet a line. Not much fly life and only saw a couple of rises. Therefore never really got to grips with this and never enticed anything. A nice day out however.

The beautiful weather disguised the fact that it's still early to be fishing this beat. The Arrow was flowing strongly and carrying quite a lot of colour. I fished for a few hours without seeing any sign of fish. There was a particularly vocal and protective Welsh Black in the field designated for access to the beat near the lay-by. I had to abandon progress to the upper section when she stood in a cattle drink and wouldn't budge!
