4 Trout

This was the first time fishing here. Fished on the fly but it was difficult to cast in part due to the wind and also due in many places to trees. Much of the banks are either inaccessible or to steep for fishing especially on the road side. On the opposite bank it is better for casting but hard work due to large areas being water over sedge and grass. The water was crystal clear and I only saw one fish moving. I caught 2 very small trout on a wet fly . I would not fish it again as the fish seemed far and few between and a local said the fishing is poor now. When I booked I.was surprised at the cost which I think is expensive

Small brown trout, largest 9 inches. River appears healthy with none of the green slime seen elsewhere. Abundant fly life. Jungle fishing with bow and arrow casting frequently required.

4 Trout, 1 Grayling

No salmon caught. 1 shad.

Turned up at one of my favourites at half twelve ... an absolute myriad of insects on the go .... Large Brook duns, olives, gnats and hawthorns, a kind of KFC family meal with extra fries for the Edws resident brienies .....
A very slow mooch fishing an Iron Blue and a Para greenwells ... sport this afternoon on a perfect river ... if you could dream the perfect river this would be it .... rising fish in most of the pool heads.... just totally sublime .... just carefully does it wading in the now clear, perfect height dry fly water !!!
Fish this afternoon ranging from seven to twelve inches, fourteen made it to the net ...with a few off at longer range , most casting to risers... lots of low branches over pools so careful casting, that's why I love the double taper two weight it just glides through the air , yet you can punch a tight loop with it to get it under alders etc etc ... love the Barrio line I'm using at the moment, fantastic!!!
A total change from a month ago when I was here just buzzing with life .... I got out by the waterfall at the top end at half five ......definitely a slow tactical session today, but so worth it, and some superb sport ...... lifes good in the Edw Valley, back to this little gem very soooooooon ..... cracking stuff !!!

A downstream wind and bright sunshine made fishing difficult. Caught two on a nymph fished below a dry fly. Nothing rising.
