One trout in the morning at the upper end then a few hours later at the other end, a grayling.

Slightly put out as the office wouldn't let me fish the Edw because I needed to book it the day before according to the Rules. I hadn't because a lot of rain was forecast and I wasn't sure quite what effect it would have. Anyway I chose this beat at random. First thing was I couldn't work out where to park, you need to look at the map as well as read the directions. Ended up driving to the river - do not do this by accident without a 4x4 - you'll get stuck.

Nice gentle beat and just what I neede after two tiring days. 3 trout almost immediately and then nothing for hours. Picked up a grayling at the far end of the beat and rose one to the dry of my clink and dink. Missed a few lightning takes in the fast water with the indicator. 3 salmon par on the middle section. Got the car back up the hill on the second attempt. Did save me a long walk though!

WUF Note : The Edw beats are part of the Wild Stream Fishing scheme. These beats can be pre-booked but on the day can only be fished if you are a Wild Stream Permit holder. Wild Stream Permit holders have paid for the 'right to roam' on these beats providing they haven't been pre-booked.

I should imagine in better conditions, probably one of the better beats, an exciting and very attractive piece of water with some fascinating runs, pools and glides. The very low water state with bright and windy conditions too challenging for us.

No sign of any fish. Day was curtailed by frustration of autumn leaves!

All Trout were small, under 6 inches taken on V. small Nymphs fished upstream. Had one Grayling of similar size but best of the day were 2 Grayling on Dry Fly
when a hatch briefly came on mid afternoon. These were around the 10" mark. A nice beat, compact & enough for one in lower water.

No fish caught, but a good day on a lovely beat.

A nice beat with good parking. Breath taking scenery but the river on it's bones today.

Very bright, hot conditions, clear water made for a challenging day but a lovely spot. Trickle of fly life and little fish movement. 3 trout and 2 what looked like salmon parr. Success with parachute adams and cdc and elk in mid to lower reaches.
