Great days fishing, not much surface activity but managed two lovely 6inch brownies, along with numerous salmon parr. All on pheasant tail nymph in the deeper pools.

Two hours fishing. Not bad until the rain. This spot has a nice population of salmon parr.

River in great nick. Water clear but not as low as I've seen it previously. Few rises and even the trusty Klink failed to entice much. Small dark tungsten nymph in deeper water produced most fish including a cracking plump 12" fish that was swimming next to a trout almost twice the size!

Water very clear and full tree canopy over much of the beat. Warm still evening - fished 6-9pm. Few trout rising but 7 WBT to dry flies - 4 fingerlings of various sizes and 3 better fish at 7-9inches.

Hot sunny day, river low and clear. 2 brown trout to 10inches using Adams. 1 small brown trout with a green dry fly name unknown. 1st class days fishing, too much sun!

Three days on the Edw, starting at Aberedw and working up all four beats to Hundred House. The rain put some colour in each morning and we managed only a few hours each afternoon as it fined down (before the next downpour). That said, it fished well to Klinks, Adams and Nymphs and we had 6 trout each day between us. All small wild brownies between 4-10 inches.

Fished for a few hours on Sunday morning from about 8am to midday. Quite a cold morning and the river was still carrying a good amount of water. It was a tough session - things only got going with a decent olive hatch from 11am onwards when the sun came out. 4 wild browns and a few others lost on klinkhammer & nymph, nothing over 8".

Nice spot, some movements, regretly I had to return very quickly to Northampton. I'll be back with more time.
Several rises, some little trout were rising to a dry fly.
Very nice spot, easy to find the park. By the way the box for the vouchers is very helpfull (don't pick up).

I'd booked Aberedw in the hope that Tuesday's rain would have washed through, it hadn't. My first two hours consisted of a pleasant upstream walk bird watching, interrupted here and there with a bit of casting practice. At about 2pm I was at the start of the beat contemplating the drive home when several fish started feeding. I've a lot to learn about fly life but the size 16 Iron Blue Dun looked a good match. Bingo! Happy Hour! One fine 11" fish to the net and several others pricked. Went home a happy man.
I'd stayed in the area for three nights. Peter Evans runs a truly remarkable B&B at the Old Storehouse on the banks of the Brecon Canal. www.theoldstorehouse.co.uk
