River low and clear. Few rises but persisted with dry fly to no avail. Changed to nymph at end of session. Immediately caught 6"wbt and hooked and lost a better fish.

Caught 5 brown trout, lost another 4. Water level really was very low compared to a month or so ago but still great fishing. 1 caught on a balloon Caddis off the surface, with the rest caught on a bead head nymph suspended underneath. Did see what I thought were Yellow Dun's hatching.

River very coloured and it did seem to be more than just muddy, possibly some algae in the water.

All on a nymph, very few fish rising.

Started at 5.30am, river alive with activity, and had two shad and lost a salmon around 6-8lb by 8am, all from beat 3. No more action thereafter but fish showing all over beat 3. Frustrated residents, mainly coloured. Should have started at 4!

Disappointing as there was no real fly hatch. The water was coloured and running well as a result of the thunderstorms the previous night. I made contact with three fish and brought one of about 5 inches to hand. Is it me or are there less fish about in this part of the Arrow?

I fished from 11-4pm on a warm and humid day. The water was a bit coloured which I wasn't expecting and there weren't many flies about with only 3 fish spotted rising. I
decided to fish with a long rod & french nymphing leader and spent the day lobbing a pair of tungsten beaded nymphs into any water with suitable depth and pace. 20 trout
from 6-14 inches caught including four of 12 inches and over.
There is a large tree that's fallen across the river on the part of the beat downstream of the footbridge.

Fished from 5:30 - 7pm. Only stayed for this short time as the river was unexpectedly different, with a distinct tinge of colour. Very little fly life and only one fish seen rising. Changed from dry to duo and managed one grayling on the nymph.
