Very early fishing.everthing went Dead at7.30am. couldn't stay for evening session sadly. I'll be back.

5 Trout, 3 Chub

Funny sort of weather this morning!!! 13 degrees overcast, much like October tbh !! I decided I'd give the edw a crack , been a while since I've given this trib a fish ....
Got to the Cregrina bridge about tenish, river looking low and clear ....eeekkkkkk !!! Stealthy tactics today me thinks !! And that was just what was needed, fished dry as always, with my six foot, two weight tod,...and actually from half twelve quite a few rises, especially the tricky calmer water above the bridge to Glan Edw Farm ..Great solid takes to my Para Iron Blue.... spot on !!! Look like the trout were hitting on small black midgy stuff !!! Saw a few mayfly too ..... fantastic !!!!
More fish above the bridge today ...Fished perhaps only fifty yards past the farm, great fun though!!
Eleven brownies to the net, two good fish also self released..Ggggrrrrrrrrr ...... sizes between seven and eleven inches.... Lovely tubby summer fish too !!
Here's hoping for some rain tonight and tommorrow. I think I saw on the met office satellite thingy ....some good amounts of the blue stuff coming over mid Wales anyway ...Perfect, much needed ...Edw, Ithon and Lugg are low ......
Anyway, another lovely session on a favourite beat ... ohhh getting a jungle above the bridge...A pukka cut back and decent tidy up is much needed otherwise we'll loose this cracking beat...Most of my cast were parallel, inches from the waters surface anyway !!! Not ideal casting stance in fairness...Not sure when this beat last had a haircut, not that it matters, trouble is green stuff never stops growing spookily enough !!! These streams need some TLC, simples ..... Right, cold drink time for this callsign !!!lol ....

Chub bonanza 'part 2'..!
Moved around the beat hunting for barbel with more patient tactics than day 1 however no success.

Basically more chub, all nice fish and once again, in certain swims, it was like shelling peas. Overall count on a day, that started at around 8.00am through to about 3.00pm, was around 60 fish topping out at around 4lbs.

Overall the beat was in really good order, the river was well coloured at a good level with great access to the swims it's just the Barbel that were missing from a great two day fishing break.

60 Chub

Plenty of chub over 40 2 rods
Barbel no show but still enjoyable day

40 Chub

River level was quite low and slow. Crystal clear water. Wildlife in abundance! Kingfishers (3 at once), a family of mink (5 or 6) tumbling and playing not 25 feet away on the other river bank, song thrush. Caught a 9 inch trout in one of the deep pools - they were chasing the nymph on the retrieve. Stunning day.
