Most trout came to the nymph. Always enjoy fishing the Edw.

16+ trout to hand and 1 grayling all taken on nymphs in the fast water at heads of pools . There were a few rising fish but these all looked juvenile trout so carried on nymphing. This was the first time I fished this beat and I quite like it, the lower half had more pools holding some nice trout and the further up you go there is some good dry fly water. I did not make it anywhere near the end so the top third I cannot comment on but what was fished is nice water. Unlike the lower beat on the Llynfi Dulais, this one is much more open and was able to use my 7ft cane rod with no worries of it crashing into overhead branches.

I have many fond memories of this beat. sadly, the new fencing has changed everything. It looks pretty permanent, so I doubt that I will visit this lovely sketch of the river Lugg again.

First time at Bugeilyn what a brilliant day 29 brown trout caught but many many more missed we should have had double that total all on dry fly raining in the morning so the boat house was bonus managed to my car down the track its just the sort of place we look for

A beautiful spring day, fished the morning. Four wbt taken on gold head hares ear nymph approx 6 inch in size. Changed to dry and had a 9" brown and lost a few more on green klinkhammer. Water clear and fish in good condition. A good days fishing on this lovely peaceful stream.

Had a good day fishing this stretch which we had not visited before with 6 WBT up to about 1lb.
Interestingly we had a 'conversation' with another angler who was fishing the top end of the beat as a member of the Merthyr club and who thought that the Passport scheme beat was less extensive than as shown on the beat map provided to us? It would be helpful for the benefit of other anglers to clarify this situation and if part of the beat is shared then it would be good to make this clear on the web site.

Great day. The lower Edw offers a good variety of pools. The water quality was very good. A bit too early for the May fly. Just returned the one small brown trout from a brown Klinkhammer.

Fished from 8am to midday. Weather warm but overcast and humid. No fish seen rising. Fished a variety of nymphs. Caught two 12" Grayling from the deeper pools, and one WBT 9". Thanks WUF. Chris

The river was looking very low. But had a great day with the guide Jonathan Morris. Very helpfull and informative. A needed lesson to brush up on my casting. Now I have seen the beat this low and with tips from Jonathan I will enjoy the beat all more next time I fish.
