Another beat of the Edw today, warmer this morning with a bit of a breeze ....didn't really affect my dry fly fishing for the three hour session this morning ... looked a picture when I tackled up at half eight ......
Lots of low branches just screaming to grab your fly , I'm kinda used to these jungle habitats so a tight cast under them with my six foot, two weight had the fly placed in trouty lies !!!
Some nice tubby ten inch fish today too, in a tally of eight .. with another two that released themselves..... kind Edw fish !!! Lol !!!
Running at a nice height for dry fly work and Savage hits to my chosen dries ..... lovely stuff !! I must say I did see some uprights on the go, but not till later , about eleven , up by the falls ....you just can't beat an Edw fish putting a bend into a little stream outfit just awesome .... love it !!!
Beef cattle still in the field on the walk back, although I didn't see Bully boy , hope he's not in burgers just yet .... he looked a bit of a stud, so I imagine he's got a few years of " work " in him yet !!!
Anyway, another lovely morning, surprisingly first time ever not had a splashy rise in the falls pool, had two fish fifty yards below it .... nowt so strange as trout hey !!! Got out at half eleven.... a cracking three hours, Llynfi or Cammarch next week, weather permitting ....... !!

0930-15:30 . An upstream wind seemed to put paid to any hatch, using a duo of nymphs in certain sections but to no avail. 3 x wbt to net on the flats in the last 45 mins, 8,10 & 13 ins. A beautiful beat nonetheless.

very bright, river in great shape- had three tugs early morn, but no connection

Water level, temp, clarity good. Only fished late morning til mid afternoon. Only saw 1 in water and 1 rise, no bites

River in great condition - clearing and falling, after a decent spate. Sadly, no salmon - none seen, heard or touched. Where are they?

2. Caught A470 side.

The forecast said "gentle breeze". It was not gentle! The wind was so strong I struggled to stand up at times! I persevered, having to double haul my 7 weight just to get out 15 - 20 feet into the frothing white capped water. Then, halfway through a double haul, the rod I've owned for 35 years snapped as I cast!
I gave up.
Am I the first person to blank on this stunning water?
