Just under a mile of first class River Arrow trout fishing a few miles downstream of Kington. This wonderfully secluded beat is very accessible and is easily enough to provide a day’s fishing. The riverbed is mostly gravel so wading is relatively easy. The downstream limit of the fishing is marked by the old disused railway bridge and the top limit by a large weir. The bottom 100 yards is left bank fishing only, with double bank thereafter.
Ideally fished with a 7-7½ft, 3 to 4wt rod.
There was an outbreak of crayfish plague in the lower Irfon in July 2024. Visiting anglers MUST ensure against cross contamination by approved check/dry/disinfection procedures, and importantly waders, nets and tackle should be sprayed with Virkon Aquatic Broad Spectrum Virucidal Disinfectant before and after fishing.
