Lovely day with two trout caught and safely returned , both roughly half a pound. Bright hot sunshine in the morning with an upstream breeze, clouded over in the afternoon , breeze dropped and a few fish started to rise. Pretty stretch of the river.

wow the river has dropped about a foot in 24 hours. Gutters still fishing well had a take which turned out to be a good chub around the 4lb mark. No silver tourists seen or caught

Nothing could be tempted with dry fly, so all fish taken on weighted nymphs fished through the faster water. Best to about 2lbs - all safely returned.

A warm day when I parked up by the white cottage Bridge pull in at ten ....already 17 degrees by then .... Brian P. had done well yesterday, with tenkara, so thought why not give the little Duhonw a bash just with tiny dries, old school style, see how she fairs !!!
Actually the walk down right to the bottom of the beat is superb, its been ages since I've been right down there ... Last time I was here the owners of the cottage had reported ,or tried to report a milky substance in the river !!!
Anyway ...the pool heads were fun, and casting literally on a six pence ro get a response .... fantastic fun with the six foot one weight ..... like grease lightening here !!! Beautiful little fish , but boy you gotta work for them, both on the wading front and presenting your dry ....A Wickhams and a Para Greenwells did the biz for me during a five hour slow wade .... i got out by the culvert bridge and a slow bimble back down the fields from there ....So really only half the beat done I think !!!
Eleven fish to my net, some really chunky strong eleven inch fish too, but most between five snd seven inches ...Just total fun on a tiny dry !!! A few more self released brownies made the session very entertaining and I must say lots of insect life down in the gorge, including mayfly!! Unusual on such a Rocky fast flowing stream ... mind you, higher up there's some silty areas I guess .....
The fish are stunning here, similar to the Clettwr specimens..... I must admit a big thanks to Brian P . For doing some very handy cutting back of over hanging foliage etc etc etc ...... I've started taking just my secateurs in its pouch to the Edw, and done some light clipping on the Hergest beat .... more needed ... I suggest to folks to do a little bit each time they go, doesn't hurt, and aids others in the future ..... some cracking pools opened up properly thanks to Brian ......
A lovely five hours on this classic mountain babbling brook......Fish are fast as a bullet here, but soooooooooo much fun !!! Another beat tommoz, then I'm guiding some chappies out in the Elan Valley wednesday and Thursday... hope its a bit more overcast by then!!! We shall see ..... onwards and upwards!!!
