River Arrow Alcester

Just had a 4 day break with the girlfriend ,we stayed at the riverside at alcester.

The cottage far right with the balcony is where we stayed overlooking the river.......

A small intimate river that goes through the village of alcester.When we arrived the river was low and had some colour.
The trip wasnt based around me fishing ,my fishing was done after 9pm till late,i baited a few swims on arrival and we went out for the day..........................................

The view downstream beyond the bridge that was very shallow..................................

The access to the river below the cottage,which was probably a boat house many moons ago......

There was only 2 swims allowed ,,so fishing wasnt going to be easy.On the friday night i fished 9-12,with one twitch.
I decided to change tactics for saturday night,i fished a link ledger instead  of a lead,so to avoid disturbance.Further down river there were people fishing so no chance of a look.

I decided on the sunday to trott some bread for an hour while julie got ready,lol.I got sick of wading through the massive amount of minnows.......................................

Did this minnow save a blank....................................................................................

On the sunday evening i decided to sneak further down river,no body there as it was dark so dropped into a nice swim ,one rod only.I fished a bag and boilie,fed some paste and waited.

After an hour and one twitch i moved round the back of the willows and dropped into the last swim on the bend,i walked 30 yard to the trees and underarmed my cast under the overhanging trees,walked back and waited.

It was looking promising ,loads of knocks and twitches,how them chub nicked my boilie twice was unbelievable.I had some good knocks and twitches,but accepted defeat at 12-15 pm............

The minnow saved a blank,and enjoyable time spent on the river and me and julie had some great days out.
Roll on the ribble ,ive missed ya......................................................
