Perfect conditions. Overcast and bit of colour in the water from rain pŕevious day. 15 + wbt to 8 inches on adams parachute, caddis elk, iron blue dun and occasional nymph. Absorbing fishing amongst the kingfisher, dippers and heron. Beautiful top sections.

First time on this beat. River was very low in parts, weather mostly cloudy all day. Stunning valley, completely secluded. Was not quite sure where the beat starts but probably just me. Great variety of water from deep pools to long straights, ending in what resembles a mountain stream at the top of the beat. All fish caught on duo, all on ptn but many missed on the sedge dry. 3 grayling at least 1lb one pushing 1.5lb, 2 trout similar size. Roughly same number missed as brought in. Brilliant fishing and topped off by an otter sliding past not 5m away whilst I was eating lunch. Thanks.

Cool day, river low and clear - has the recent rain not fallen on the Edw catchment? Occasional flies hatching, and some trout rising. Very wary though, eventually landed 4 ,to 12", but missed many more. On small grey and olive paras.

Great fishing conditions. After catching nothing for most of the day, I manage to get a nice 2lb Sea Trout.

Another amazing day on this beat. Caught from all across the beat and apart from 2 smaller barbel they were all between 6 and 8 pounds. Got a thorough soaking in the evening and also had a good amount of tackle swallowed by the rocks!

Still no signs up to state WUF private fishing which in my mind is a must given previous experience on this beat.

Pleasant late afternoon/evening session, mainly on the lower half of the beat. Recent rain put a bit of colour in the water to mask my clumsy approach. Very occasional large, pale upwings spotted fluttering on the water which were usually snaffled. Nearly every pool held fish and produced rises to olive and black klinkhammers, also plenty of pulls on a soft hackled PTN. Probably a couple of dozen pulls or splashy rises but most were very small fish unable to get the hook properly in their mouths. 5 trout stayed on long enough to come to hand, largest about 10", smallest 5". Two takes in one of the deeper pool felt bigger, but I didn't see the fish so can't be sure.
