Feedback & Reports

no fish caught , river very low but a wonderful place to spend the day.

16deg with passing rain showers and distant thunder. Intermittent sunshine. Started at about 1000. No rises seen until about 1300 then very sporadic. A few big mayflies spotted. 3 browns caught on bead head PTN about #16 both from deeper areas and very shallow riffles. Did manage to rise 3 on an Adams but didn’t stick. Also a good take on a PTN that just pricked the fish. Got pretty cold at about 14:30 and fingers wouldn’t work properly so packed it in. Nice day though.
Thanks once again to the Wye and Usk Passport.

A good catc h for me on a wild stream, especailly in late June and very low water . Perhaps a very cloudy day after a week of hot sunshine helped? All on dry flies, a couple taken from 'likely' spots, mostly though these were steadily rising fish scattered through the long shallow pools. The number of rising fish was exceptional in my experience.

River very low and the day warm, 20deg and mostly cloudless and windless. Began at about 1330 and fished until 1800. Fish caught were mostly in the deeper faster runs and riffles. Due to low water conditions all fish were caught on dry fly. Black Klinkhammer #16, elk hair Caddis #14 and para Adams #16.
Trout between 12cm and 18 cm.
I fished an 8ft rod but ideally one should fish not longer than 7 as mostly in overhanging trees.
Accommodation at The Seven Stars at Aberedw is very pleasant and convenient for fishing this river.
I had a very enjoyable day. Thank you to the Fishing Passport.

Lovely little wild stream, but VERY low with few fishale spots. However, we managed half a dozen little brownies and had great fun wading up the river shoulder to shoulder. Stunning wildlife - dippers, kingfishers, kites all around. Plenty of hatches, including LDO’s, Damsels and even Mayflies, which we copied with success. We’ll certainly return to the Edw and hopefully find the water level has returned to ‘normal’ and that a little management has been carried out (e.g, clearance of large broken off branches etc, which obstruct fishing spots)

Small amount of extra water coming through from rain the day before but river still clear. All fish on dries, a mix of gnats and Adams during the day but in the evening bigger fish were fixed on LDO Spinners.

An excellent stretch with a good head of fish. All were taken on dries, and were fit as fiddles. Recommended.

Tough day, water very low, plenty of hatching flies, but very few rises, one small brown trout caught at the bottom of deep pool on GRHE, but a beautiful place to spend a day!

River pretty low and little fly life. Quite a cold start but temperature rose to 14c during the day. No rain and wind that had plagued this 4 day trip. 13 wbt caught and returned. All on dries, Para Adams the most productive pattern today. Very aggressive takes in the faster moving water and plenty of 7"-9" trout, best a 12" beauty, fin perfect taken in a clear, fast moving pool. Thrilling. Great way to end a trip to my happy place, thanks as always WUF.
