Fished from 1300 to 1500 on a rather cold and windy day.
4 Trout around 6 inches all on a size 12 Gold head nymph with Tenkara rod.
A few LDO's hatching and 1 fish seen rising.

Last Trout trip of the season unfortunately so decided on Cregrina. Water was a little low and very clear and the Trout were mainly in the slow glides which made approach tricky. 9 Trout all around 6 inches took a size 16 F fly about the same amount lost.
Lovely day on the Edw, roll on spring.
Also spotted some Japanese knot weed towards the bottom of the beat.

Fished Cregrina below the bridge for 2 hours in the morning but with no fish caught. Getting to the bottom of beat quite tricky but worth persevering down the very steep banks to a very wild (and I suspect little-fished) beat. Disturbed an unidentified bird of prey (Buzzard?) off one of the stream mini-cliffs which was quite a shock - those birds are huge close-up! A downpour at noon signalled an early lunch and a move to Hergest for the afternoon.

River very low but still good size fish in the deep pools. Caught 3 and lost 3 .

3 Trout

Four hours of kneeling down and side casting produced 3 wbt of five to eight inches to the Griffiths gnat. Retired aching to the Seven Stars and lubricated with a few fine pints of " Butty". All in all another enjoyable three days on the wild streams, thanks WUF.

Started fishing a Duo of Deer hair Sedge and PTN and had several fish on the nymph. Around lunchtime more fish were rising to the dry so changed to a Griffith gnat and had some good sport on the dry. Finished around 3 with a dozen to hand and plenty more missed or lost.

Another cloudy, chilly day. Water pushing through nicely on the Edw but little fly life. The odd olive and grannom but sparse and random.
Quite a tight little beat now the canopy is in full swing. Worked very hard for 5 wbt to about 9" on dries - tried out some new specialist barbless flies from a small online retailer - very impressed with the quality and presentation.
The heavens opened on several occasions - end of June, please!!
Early finish to watch Wales delight a nation. Don't take me home......

A great few hours on a great beat. First time here and fished to the end. Small fish rising all along beat in low numbers. Persevered with dries and was rewarded with 4 to hand, lost a few at my feet and didn't manage to connect with most! But all good sport!! Occasional mayfly coming off with all fish caught on pale watery duns size 16/14.
Middle 1/3 of beat provided most enjoyment and easy wading. Must try other Edw beats when time allows....

4 Trout

Fished the lower half of the beat from 11.30 to 14.30.
Started out with a Tungsten bead nymph then changed to a Spider pattern and finished the day with a CDC and Elk emerger. Caught on all flies Trout ranged from 3 to 8 inches.
