Feedback & Reports

Well fancied a quick session on another Arrow beat , so with Mrs A working till three , and the mowing done early , rain came in from ten till about midday , so opted for the Titley beat . . .

Arrived at the yew tree parking area at bang on one , lovely weather conditions , and certainly better than a few days ago , reading only seventeen degrees in my truck , overcast and a slight breeze , spot on !!!! Rigged up my usual six foot , two weight and opted for a Parachute Greenwells , fishing initially between the ranunculus , accurate casting needed , and first nice brownie , just up from the footbridge , fish hammering the dry in the clear channels between the streams of weed , always amazes me , seem to appear out of knowwhere , superb fun , smash takes on the Greenwells . . .

Had three in the first two hundred yards , fish ranged from seven to ten inches , nice start to the afternoon , having to wade very carefully as some of the more shallower pools , fish very spooky , and brownies seemed to be in the faster water today , had another tight in to the far bank , another lovely rise to the dry . Also fished a Para Adams today , equal success . . . Fifth fish was caught on a nymph fished deep , absolute lunker , probably my best Arrow fish this season so far !!!! Must have been fourteen inches , a cracker , and put a nice bend in the six weight rod !!!!

Last fish before I decided to call it a day , was on the dry , head of a nice pool , just off from the fast water , nice take , and a cracking ten inch brownie to hand . . . Did see some crayfish claws and legs neatly positioned on a pebbled area , must be Tarka , or those mink I've seen here regularly ??

Anyway , a spot on three hours didn't go up to the weir , but had a ball in the time I was there , as always a superb place to spend a couple of hours , great fun . . . . . Back soon !!!!!

A quick Evening visit with the Tenkara rod. I was hoping to see a bit more water after the rain but still very low and clear.
4 Trout 6 to 8 inches on a small unweighted nymph fished in the surface.

X4 trout from 6 to 10'' all taken on weighted nymph. All fish returned. Large parts of this beat were unfishable due to very low water. All fish were taken in the few fast deep pools that I could find. Two trees have fallen at end of beat - near the weir. Hopefully these will be pulled out this winter. I love this beat and will return next year but lets pray for some proper rain!

Started fishing at 1:00pm and fished the whole beat finishing around 6:00pm. Caught 12 plus WBT from 5 and 10 inches, all plump and well fed. All to a size 14 Para Adams. Many more rose and missed.
Weather warm and sunny, river getting lower but in good condition.

Great afternoon, unfortunately no fish taking.

8 x trout 6-11 inches on a Parachute Adams. Mostly small fellows and few natural rises - post mayfly repletion perhaps. The beat looked as beautiful as it always does in high summer.
