Fished the other half of the beat further up the road in the afternoon. Caught trout mainly on the nymph, only the occasional fish rising.

Great day on the Edw again. Water still a bit colored from the rain but fish where feeding. Only fished about half the beat.

Most trout came to the nymph. Always enjoy fishing the Edw.

Great day. The lower Edw offers a good variety of pools. The water quality was very good. A bit too early for the May fly. Just returned the one small brown trout from a brown Klinkhammer.

.......arrived at 1.30 after a unproductive morning on the Dulas middle beat....flies hatching fish jumping but v. selective....determined to fish dry fly and took 4 small fish on various size 18 olive patterns. Beautiful now the spring colours are appearing! Anybody new to this beat should be aware that the bedrock is super slippery when wading...take care,nearly came a cropper couple of times!

Woke up at The Hundred House Inn to covering of snow. Air temp 1 degree. Frustrating couple of hours due to my ineptitude with flies up trees but enjoyed it nonetheless. As yesterday plenty of fast flowing water but no signs of fly life or fish life. One day I will catch a trout in one of the wild stream beats! But not today. Easier walking and easier casting than on Edw Hundred yesterday. An enjoyable couple of days holiday.

Tested the contents of my fly boxes today! River in good flow and slightly coloured, range of flies and bugs on the water. Trout were rising in some pools and deep runs but not in others. It also turned out they were being very choosy, and were picking off different food items in each pool. After I while I twigged that I had to try various dries/paras to find the 'right' one in each pool, and sometimes failed - they either ignored everything or ducked out after having a look. Did find the right fly occasionally to land 7 at 7" to 10". On sedge or tiny black fly or a pale olive - really enjoyed this, even though I only managed half the beat.
