3 Trout, 1 Grayling

A tough morning spend roving, fishes every peg of the stretch with nothing to show for our efforts. In the afternoon we decided to set up in a swim each at the top of the beat baiting little and often, fishing to the far margin making sure to hit the same spot every cast. Regular cast with pellet feeders turned out the be the winning method.

Will definitely be going back.

With the weather looking decidedly iffy up near Stoke Prior , decided to just stick to a local beat and went to the Arrow at Kington , an old favourite of mine . . . . . Weather looked a bit dodgy Sennybridge way on the BBC weather app , was going to give the Cilieni a bash , but will do that some stage next week after another load of shifts . . . . .

Was thirteen degrees in my truck when I parked up , blustery , trying to drizzle quite heavy , and altogether not very nice to be fair , oh well , let's give things a bash I thought !!!!

First few pools , very quiet , in fact , had the feeling and that hunch that perhaps it had been fished earlier , as was quite some time before I had one , on the Parachute Pheasant Tail , nice take , eight inches , and beauty slipped back in . . . . . Seemed they were spooked by something perhaps !!!!

Next pool well further up , another fish , again perhaps eight or nine inches , lovely summer condition , and quickly released , fished the weir pool , no response !!!!!, odd one that !!!Anyway , moving on , a chap other week got in a pickle with that grilling on those huge tanks , I tend to loop the field side and ignore those totally . As your looking up into the weir take the exit out to the right into the open field , then immediately left into the corner of the big field there is a style , over that , loop around the water above the weir , cross too sections of fairly loose barbed wire , then drop back down into the river above the huge log jam , sorted !!!!!! Above there I had my last two fish , as only fished hundred yards up that section , still a really pleasant three hours , from half ten till half one . .

Was nice to have a few relaxing hours today , but something told me the usual spot that I know so well here , as fish holding lies , were distinctly empty this morning !!!!!! And the four beauties I had took some finding to be honest !!!!! But hey that's life in a tall black hat , take the rough with the smooth , perhaps the changeable weather had really put the resident Arrow brownies into sulk mode ha ha , still great fun , Cilieni or Edw next week , looking forward to that already , happy days !!
