Unfortunately only had time to fish for about 3 hours in the afternoon in the end so just tried the top end of the beat. Managed to tempt a couple of nice trout on spiders but it was fairly hard going, overcast and windy and not much rising. Nice to back here again though even if my day was short.

Bowled up at the bridge this morning at eleven , slight drizzle murky and about fifteen degrees with an annoying blustery breeze that picked up even more through the three and a half hours I was fishing there . . . .

Water looked good , always has that slight tinge here, running at a nice height , and plenty of insect life about , great too see . . . .

Initially opted for a Parachute Pheasant Tail as there were some upwings about at half eleven , no takers on the dries so went for an eighteen flashback PTN , success a lovely savage take in one of the deep pools , and a cracker of an Edw fish , possibly thirteen inches and superb markings!!! Next cast bang , another and again a good fish for here. . . . . Great fun !!!

Fishing was good all the way up , in some areas catapult casting the tiny gold bead nymph but success in the tight little pools and some great takes on the nymph this morning . . . First time in ages I stayed on the nymph all the time I was there . . . . Ringing the changes with the changeable weather too !!!!

One pool had an absolute lunker for here all of fourteen or fifteen inches, superb and a lovely bend in my six foot two weight rod . . . Spot on !!!!

So nine beauties this morning , three on and off as well , always good fun here , although a lot of the time kneeling in the stream to get cast under the canopy , cracking stuff, and nice to see the kingfisher up and down all the time I was there, some trees starting to turn now , wont be long till its seasons end !!!

Chilled out with my dinner on the bridge after a slow bimble back down the fields , a cracking three and a half hours here , and the Edw always has some surprises , one of my best fish to date here, happy days , may even squeeze in another quick session here before the end of the month . . . . Happy days !!!

fished the Gravel Catch for a change .The river was dropping after the rise overnight , the colour was ok, but as usual for me nothing seen or caught.

Water high and very murky. Had to work hard for the fish. Nothing of much size.
