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.

Water looked nice, but not much happening with the fish. I fished down most of the beat with nymphs. One small one saved me from a b;lank. Perhaps the north wind put them off....?

Windy but sunny day. Noted lots of blanket weed on the rocks. Hatches patchy and sporadic, but we had a lot of fun.
