Feedback & Reports

Beautiful place, never fished the Edw before but didn't disappoint. Five trout of approximately 5-6 inches long.
Klinkhammer took 1st fish after small rises seen followed by 4 on a beaded black nymph pattern all around 11am in the bottom quarter of the beat in a steady flow. Short line nymphing no flyline necessary. Best to use an 8 foot or shorter rod. Bright sunshine throughout with hardly a breeze.

River with good flow and looking healthy. Fallen debris in places but nothing significant to cause concern.
River easily accessible although there is a barbed wire fence along side the river, be careful, wading is tricky with smooth boulders as slippery as ice on the bottom, a set of suds should be considered essential.

All in all, a stunning location and good fishing and good value.

What a spectacular place to fish … the drive there was epic ! Persistent rain and a cold breeze throughout todays session but I got there early and used a small silver tungsten herl nymph fished solo to catch all my fish. Wading was pretty easy and you just have to fish this beat …. Awesome countryside and can’t wait to return when something may be hatching !

11-3:30. Chose dry fly, greenwells glory and olive, water still skinny but slight colour. Hergest almost unrecognisable after the past year’s turbulent weather, still beautiful and will always be a favoured beat. No success in raising but took the two rises that were seen, 6 and 10 ins. Both returned safely.

Lovely stretch of river and awesome surroundings, used a 7ft rod but would be better with a 6ft, a good hatch of March brown (Mayfly) I only fished 400yds but will be back again soon. Tight Lines all ☺️

Colder than expected with a stiff breeze and as a result there was no surface activity. In just under four hours I didn't see anything hatch. The winter floods have moved a lot of debris but no significant obstacles. Fished a small nymph in the deeper pools and pocket water, plenty of hungry little trout, but didn't find one of the better fish. Still an excellent stream to spend time with.

The last time I blanked on the Edw was.....Never!

Beautiful day. River lowish but sparklingly clear. Trout elusive. My fishing partner, Andy, had one trout at 8" on a heavy nymph. In addition 5/6 small trout around 5" all on Para patterns or similar.

Fished from about 13.00 to 16.30 Bright and breezy.
9 trout on nymphs 6 to 12 inches plus plenty of parr.
A large Oak tree is in the river just above Hergest bridge,looks like it could cause trouble.
Also found a good quality folding net which could be reclaimed through the booking office.
