River Arrow fishing evidence · West Midlands
What fish are in the River Arrow (West Midlands)?
Monitoring has recorded 25 species across 25 surveyed sites on this water, between 1980 and 2025. These are survey records with dates. They do not establish what is present today, that the water is fishable, or that you have permission to fish it.
River evidence passport
Four signals, kept deliberately separate.
The passport shows identity, survey breadth, evidence freshness and trip constraints without turning unlike facts into an opaque “best river” score.
25 sites · 117 events
25 positive taxa aggregates are shown. More survey coverage is not a fishing-quality verdict.
