9 Trout

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.

After the heavy morning showers, a lovely afternoon casting to rising trout.

5 Trout

A perfect over-cast and fairly still day on the Edw with occasional showers sparking hatches. Ten of the usual small trout to Adams and Grey Duster. A few fish rising but mostly taking in the faster riffles. Masses of fly life and sporadic hatches including Mayflys, Mayfly spinners and red spinners.

A shared rod on this lovely beat on a fine June evening, fish between 4 & 10 ins fell to Tups, Para Adams and a small white Mayfly Pattern. A pleasant start to our week in the in region.

Fished dry fly all afternoon, parachute type or deer hair wing. Thanks to the angler who left one of the latter hanging in a tree; it worked well. Caught 20+ trout up to 9" but most were 5-6". Missed many more and lost a few. Mayfly were in the air all afternoon plus other flies that I failed to identify. The rocks here are very slippery with algae, especially higher up the beat. I had studded waders but felt-soled plus studs would have been better.

Had a few hours nyphing the faster water and picked up 15 trout with several slipping the hook, after two hours the river was very coloured which pretty much put the fish down. Walked the rest of the beat trying my luck but to no avail. First time on this beat and it is a very nice stretch of water . An eight foot rod coped easily.
