Delayed start due to over indulgent hosts the previous evening so only managed 2-3 hours on this delightful stream. Caught two very lively trout up to 9" on a pheasant tail gold head and missed a few others rising to a klinkhammer.

River in good condition had some takes but no fish caught. At the top section above the falls I was asked by a couple who claimed the leftbank rights for sight of the map showing the extent of the rightbank fishing which I provided.

All fish were rising and were taken on on an iron blue klink,

River slightly coloured, and had clearly fined down after something of a rise. Certainly freshened the trout up! After a slowish start trying various dries I found trout in virtually every run and glide willing to come up to a small sparse iron blue para., although I think anything light grey would have worked. Eventually landed 20 at 6" to 12", and missed many more - in the sun my tippet was sometimes very obvious. Had to leave at 5.30 having only fished about two thirds of the beat, so could have caught many more. Fantastic day!

First time fishing the Edw,lovely river and a great place to fish. Water level appeared to be low also a lot of brown algae on the bottom. 10 fish caught and quite a few more missed. 5 on a size 16 para adams and 5 on a size 18 beaded PT under an indicator, all in the faster water.
Excellent direction to the beat and parking.

After visiting the Royal Welsh show at Builth on a very hot morning I headed for the shade of the Edw in the afternoon.
Around a dozen trout caught on a Gold bead nymph cast up into the fast water in the heads of the pools.
Fished between 1 and 3 by which time I got to the gates that cross the river and decided to head for home and and a cool drink.

12 Trout

Fished from 9am until noon, walking upstream from the bottom of the beat using a dry size 14 Adams and was not disappointed. Managed to land 4 fish ranging from 4 to 8" in size although did hook a much larger fish which managed to slip the hook in a fast stretch of water and lots of other takes and rises to my fly. Really enjoyed my three hours fishing and would have stayed longer however as it was our wedding anniversary, felt it was the right thing to return home to prepare dinner!! (Thank you Jan for being such a lovely wife) :) all fish safely returned and hope to return myself shortly!
Also meant to add, watch out for a boggy area of land close to the river where the cattle have been trampling. It's deeper than you think and got stuck in my waders, resulting in a muddy plunge. Luckily no one around to witness the event! Thank you WUF for an entertaining mornings fishing.
