It was great to finally get back on the creel , it’s quite difficult to get a booking these days as it’s become increasingly popular due to a particular fishing show .
The weather was Fantastic yet again , it took a while to get my first bite but once I had located the fish the bites became more frequent, usual pellet / feeder approach. Fished from 12pm till 8:30, love this beat can’t wait to return .

Well was a cool one when I was taking the pooch for a bimble this morning , about seven degrees , and thick mist on the outskirts of Leominster , up Stoke Prior way , and called for a fleece on , at that time of the morning !!!!! Was in two minds today , the little Clewedog , or the Edw . . . . I did plumb for the Edw @ Hundred House . . . . Still cool when I parked up by the bridge at ten passed seven , reading only eight degrees in my truck , and a spooky mist coming off the little river !!!!!

Tackled up my trustee six foot two weight , and opted for a Pheasant Tail Parachute dry for starters , was snaffled by a feisty eight inch beautifully marked brownie , just up from the first riffled section , a spot on start !!!

Second fish was a cracker for here , about eleven inches , lovely splashy confident rise to the dry , and although still cool , and not much about , the Edw fish were still keen to come up for a prospected dry . . . . Great fun !!!

I did change a couple of times to a very small goldhead nymph , to cover the quiet glassy pools on the middle section , and some good hits to the nymph to , including the most adventurous baby trout in the Edw , who must have only been two inches long , nailed the nymph fair and square , just caught in the corner of his mouth on the barbless hook so no damage done , wished him well and hoping I'll see him in two or three years !!!!!!!!

Sport was constant all the way up , I called it a day at half twelve , getting a tad warm by then , and I was ready for one of my diet cokes and a snack in the cool box left in the truck by then . . . . . A smashing few hours , eleven lovely fish brought to hand , and also four or five minnows , and some parr , all carefully released , great fun , and a pleasant mooch back down the fields to my truck . Lots of sedge activity by then , also damsels and horse flies aaaarrrggghhhhhh!!!!!

Sat on the bridge scoffing my dinner and coke , watching some small trout rising in the glide just up from the bridge , spot on , and a lovely start to the weekend , the Edw in all its guises always seems to relax you big time !!!!!! Back to the Ponderosa and time for some mowing , oh well no peace for the wicked hey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any excuse to stand and cool off in a beautiful river in 30 degree heat... One tiddler and one really nice one pound plus trout both at the top end of the beat.

O fish, 30* heat and a thousand canoeists. Not much fun today and very few fishable swims on this beat as very overgrown and lots of weed. Won’t fish this beat again
