I was on the same line of thinking. Cant say I have heard many good reports coming from Arrow for a long time. Have you fished it John or do you know much about it.

Welcome to the forum dooras. Would you be fishing Arrow in September as well by any chance. We'll have to meet up some time my good friend Grasshopper speaks very highly of you, if your who I think you are.
Any way god help us on Arrow, we'll need all the help we can get.
