R29 - The Arrow, Monkland Fishery
Vouchers - Adults 4 Under 17s

Wading difficulty: 2
This beat is just over a mile of right bank fishing a few miles west of Leominster. The river here has a lowland character, meandering through fields with deep pools on each corner.
The fishery has been stocked with trout in recent years to augment natural populations. Wading is necessary to fish this water, the silt and gravel riverbed making for relatively easy going.
The beat will benefit from clearance work in early 2010.
