First time on this stretch, good access. Not the most peaceful of beats, swimmers, dogs, main road, but a delightful shallow run although very snaggy . Fish are of a smaller size here, the barbel averaged 3.25lbs.

Bimbled off to the lovely Edw at Aberedw .. First job there was a thermometer dip before tackling up , so headed down to the Bridge and ran across the field with thermometer and dipped it in three locations .... 12 degrees happy days .... although she was low and very over grown .... twas going to be a tricky session .......
Fished between ten and half twelve....i cut out just before the house on the river bank on the right !!@ makes me wonder if they worry about flood conditions, as its literally on the banks !!! Cest la vie !! Plush place ... I'm sure getting flooded out wouldn't have crossed their minds !! Anyway, onto the fishing , lots of pools ruined with summer growth now .... a work party much needed here ... three of four hours would be just the ticket !! As I've mentioned before we need to blitz these lovely wild streams ... they've had a few years" free for all "and it's a bit like Jack and the Beanstalk on some of them !! Where I could get a cast away , some good takes this morning on my Para Greenwells ..... five made it to the net, a few also slipped the hook .... good fun , just a quick session as had a weather warning for torrential storms covering Builth and Rhayader area ...fish in the seven to nine inch bracket .... low and slow wading needed ... seems confined big time after my fab three days up at Claerwen locally during the Cochybonddu fall... was sublime and three morning sessions tallied over sixty gorgeous brownies up there.....
The walk back through the fields on the Edw is very pleasant and was only when I got back to my truck that the sun was poking through and some rain drops too!!! A fun session, will try a more open beat in a few days ...... let's hope for more rain not this half hearted stuff we're getting ..... home time and a large diet coke I think, lovely job !!!
