I have not fished this beat before. It is a good stretch of water, however the levels were a touch high and still a bit coloured which meant wading needed care. Due to many trees along the length you have to do a fair amount of walking to wet a line. Not much fly life and only saw a couple of rises. Therefore never really got to grips with this and never enticed anything. A nice day out however.

The beautiful weather disguised the fact that it's still early to be fishing this beat. The Arrow was flowing strongly and carrying quite a lot of colour. I fished for a few hours without seeing any sign of fish. There was a particularly vocal and protective Welsh Black in the field designated for access to the beat near the lay-by. I had to abandon progress to the upper section when she stood in a cattle drink and wouldn't budge!

Hot -23c cloudless,fished flies ,lures etc all day no sign of fish at all for either of us,that’s fishing.

The river level dropped slightly overnight but the water was still coloured therefore fly fishing was almost impossible. No salmon!

River was very high and still quite coloured, fished hard all day, very difficult to fish without knowing where the rocks and obstacles were. Croy was under water, ladders and steps to most Pools were inaccessible due to high water. Would like to fish Beat under more favourable river conditions.
