5 wbt to 10" on grhe gold head

5 Trout

River low. Many of the usual lies not holding fish and lack of flow and clear water made fishing challenging. This is a lovely beat though with plenty of fish, reasonable wading and sufficient room to cast. A steady mixed hatch all day. 8 wbt caught and returned, all on dries (pale watery dun and F-fly) most between 6"-9", one approaching 12".
I ended the session on the top section of the beat. Worth jumping in the car and giving it a go.

Small trout, 7 - 8 Inches, one other lost. Very pretty stretch of water.

Water very low and clear but as usual an abundance of fly life. Very few fish rising so fished a nymph on a Tenkara rod. Trout were in the faster runs into deeper pools. Best today a fine 12 inches from under the bridge.
Also fished the top section today which only has a couple of fishable pools at the moment, one of which produced 3 trout.

First time here, great river. Good hatches all day, nothing rising. Got 3 on a quill nymph NZ style, couple of splashy rises at the para adams

Fished from 11-2 on what was a cold and windy day. The 2 rising fish that I saw were devouring olives from a hatch that lasted a maximum of 10 minutes which ,by the time I had derigged my nymph setup and tied on a small Adams in the wind and brambles, I missed. Two small trout around 8" came to a size 18 hares ear fished on the bottom. Good to see insects and rising fish again after a subterranean winter!

Didn't fish had I known the car parking place had moved I would of booked some where else.

Fifteen trout caught on dry fly all caught after lunch when I had already been fishing for 2 or 3 hours. So, I was starting to get a bit twitchy, but thankfully had an action packed afternoon. Most successful fly was a rusty klinkhammer with bright green body and a CDC post. One notable fish at a fat 12" was probably the biggest fish I've had from Edw this year. New parking space put an extra 1/4 mile on the walk back to the car.

Fished for a couple of hours on this wonderful stretch. Levels fairly low but managed to land three healthy brown trout of about half a pound, all safely returned. Plenty of other takes on a combination of parachute Adams and gold beaded nymph in fast water raffles. Care needed when wading as some of the bedrock sections very slippy.
