1 small trout in the weirpool. River looking better each day but still very cold. No fly life seen yet.

Water still quite high. Caught just one Grayling which must be the smallest Grayling in the country, in fact I think the fly it took was bigger than the fish!
Lovely afternoon to be out though although water was still very cold.

1 Grayling

Only one grayling (7 inches) caught but 2 out of season wbt (biggest 13 inches). Fished a single beaded czech nymph. Lost one other trout. All caught downstream of the weir. A lovely day to be out.

No fish but great to be out.

This beat was fished on Saturday 28 September by two members of the Grayling Society on an Area 4 Fishing day.

This was my first attempt at wild trout fishing and I enjoyed it very much. The morning was very quiet, no fish were showing so I spent an hour or two fishing with a variety of nymphs without success. The weather was good with sun from about midday so I was hoping for one of those September hatches. However, whilst I spotted some activity, no fish where feeding off the top. I switched to an emerger and began to get some sport with an olive klinkhammer. I missed several takes through lack of practice before my one trout(11inches) was taken. The grayling were great sport and all fish were caught and returned at the wear. Looking forward to trying another beat next season.

Five Trout 5-8", one Grayling 9" all in the faster water.
If the masses of parr/fry in the river at the moment survive predation the Arrow will be heaving with fish in a couple of years time.

Good day fish rising, very pleasant all round.

A perfect hour of late evening fishing after a long day in the car. A fish would have been icing on the cake, but no matter. There were a few small trout rising, but very spooky in such low water.

I seemed only able to find small chub rising in a couple of places. The cold wind in the evening reduced any chance of a decent hatch so it was a bit of a disappointment. Watched a nice tree creeper though.
