My third visit to the Arrow and, at last, my first fish on this river! A stunningly coloured brownie of around 1lb, caught on the last cast of the day using a Greenwell's Glory. Lost a smaller one earlier on and failed to connect with a fair few takes. Fished a dry fly throughout the day.
A beautiful sunny day with just clouds of sedges and the occassional mayfly for company. A memorable day, will definitely return.

Very hot and bright with only a very few flies coming off including the occassional Mayfly.

Only managed two WBT, a 9 inch and a 10inch, both were in beautiful condition and taken on a #16 para Greenwell's Glory. Enjoyed the kingfishers and Dipper.

No salmon caught but plenty of brownies, best to 14.5 " no sign of fish moving on either day, even when fished late to dusk.

We caught between us 1 Chub, 2 Grayling and 35 Trout. Most of the Trout were small, biggest trout was a 12". All fish were returned. We all had a great weekend, thanks.

One small brown trout in the heat of the day. No movement until 7 pm when had to leave...the moral is be more planful about timing!

Only one nice brown 12". Lost 4 others. GH PTN.
Very easy last minute booking - 9pm the night before !

Not fished this beat before so didn't know what to expect. So different from the Titley and Court of Noke beats, reminded me of a Welsh mountain stream in places. Started off slow I only managed a couple of smallish trout (8 and 10in) from the wooded section. Had a bit of better luck futher upstream where I managed a good fish of approx 16ins taken on a gold head PTN fish NZ style. The wife was finding things a bit difficult so went off with her camera. Went down to the bottom weir to have a look, interesting water, but you need a long handled net to land anything there!
Not as many Mayfly about compared with Titley yesterday. Managed another 2 fish of about 11 ins in the wooded section one on GB PTN and one on a black Klink. Finished day below top weir. Had another 5 fish ranging from about 10ins to 14ins. All on GB PTN. Wife managed to get photos of some of these.

All in all a good day. Total 10 trout (all to me!) 8 to 16ins all returned.

4 Trout, largest 1lb; 3 grayling, largest 1lb. All bar 1 trout taken on GRHE/PT nymphs (1 exception on golden olive klinkhammer). River still coloured from recent rain, with plenty of fly life up to 1pm.

For the record books, caught at the L&A social over Sat & Sun 24/25th May...
Titley (R26) - 7 trout best 1lb.
Hergest (B30) - 3 trout best just under 1 lb.
Mowley Wood (R27) - 51 trout, 13 x 1lb or more, best 2lb!!!---- Brilliant!!
Lyepole (B31) - 48 trout, 5 grayling, 11 x 1lb or more, best 1.5 lb-- Excellent.!!

All except 3 returned, every one with wild fish markings and in beautiful condition. Adams, Grey Wulff, Mayflies, emergers and others. Stunning fishing!

Bright, chilly and breezy.

Fished the fast water by the church, got two very nice fish about 15? on gold beaded hairs ear.

Dropped down to the fast water below the bridge, couldn?t fish up stream due to the wind which was now very strong. Tried fishing down stream but glare on the water made it very difficult to see the numerous boulders of which there are many in this run. Had to get to back to Kent so called it a day at 1pm, very happy with the two fish I caught.
