Walked the whole reservoir spinning from 8 o clock, just about to call it a day but decided to try the area a started at, and bang 4 rainbow in an hour

4 Trout

All of the fish were caught at the top which is the only part of the beat that is worthwhile at the the moment.Spooky fish in the low water with only 5” on the gauge and the cool downstream breeze meant that there weren’t many rising either side of midday. A few olives, and a sparse grannom hatch but no mayfly seen.
An early finish , but I did spend a few hours fishing small salmon flies through the deeper pools at the bottom .Nothing touched or seen.

Cold day with heavy showers through the morning. Fishing by 12 but after an hour the water quickly became coloured with a lot of debris and rose pretty fast. Fishable again by 5-6 pm, had some interest up to about 8pm in a grey duster on top but too slow to hook anything.

Couple of decent fish on the Mayfly. Also got very close to a Greater Spotted Woodpecker who did not notice I was there

This is a lovely stretch of the Arrow and the first time I've fished it. I've fished the wild stream beats below and above many times so was keen to compare them to this beat. Access to the river is straightforward from the layby and the walk to the start of the beat is easy through the field and over Murder Bridge at Hergest Mill then through the next field down to the start. Not much activity until around 100:00ish when there was a steady mayfly hatch through the rest of the day with some decent rises. I took 6 fish either to a Grey Wulff or emerger pattern - so a good day. There are a few new fences across the river which are difficult to get through.
