Feedback & Reports

Only fished for one hour or so. Lots of cattle in the river in the lower part because of damaged fencing. Two dogs where chasing them arround so no chance for some peaceful fishing.

Mooched off to the rather lovely Edw valley again this morning , opting for the Hergest beat . . .

Dank and cool when I turned up at eight , and although low , looked fishable and trouty looking from the Bridge parking area. . . . .

Fished dry fly again this morning , catching on Parachute Greenwells and a tiny tan Klinkhammer . Great sport when you could cast into the fast water coming into a pool . Most of the morning stealthy wading was required , hence the four hours to get up to the weir !!! Lovely sport today , thirteen brownies to the net , four good ones of between ten and twelve inches , the rest around six to eight ; also two salmon parr hammered my dry too!!! All the fish were beautifully marked Edw brownies, tubby from Summer feeding!!!!

Although it was low , sport was good and if your prepared to kneel a lot and stealthy slow wading you'll get your rewards here !! That said a couple more days rain wouldn't go a miss to be honest ! In fact a week would be good.

A fun four hours this morning , got out by the weir boulders bang on midday, a slow bimble back to my truck . . . A very pleasant morning , back To The Ponderosa and some garden chores before feet and and a well earned weekend off !!! Nice . . . .

First time fishing on this beat and although the water level was very low it was still a good experience. Fish were very spooky but did manage to put 3 in the net. Used a PA all day. Will definitely be coming back.

Rained most of the day so going difficult but had a wonderful day in stunning surroundings , one very small trout on the dry fly but went home happy.

Less water than I expected,but still a great mornings walk/fish.5 trout all to the dry,and a few more lost.

Another tricky but absorbing day. River very low making necessary maximum stealth. Caught steadily on a small parachute.

Found it difficult fishing with the Edw in its present shrunken state, but a peaceful couple of hours until the lads' motocross circuit alongside the river fired up in the early evening. Left the din for a bit more peace and quiet at upper Aberedw, where the parking area is currently blocked by timber and brushwood. Let's hope some habitat refreshment arrives
as forecast at the end of the week.

My 1st time fishing on the Edw and 1st time wild stream fishing. I loved it, its a cracking river and I will be back to do it again. I caught 3 wee browns all on Adams para dry at the heads of pools in the ruffled bit. Also missed a couple of very quick sub surface nymph takes.
The water was low and very clear and I must have frightened dozens of fish which I saw scappering off in all directions.
I saw maybe half a dozen feeding fish in total and I think if the water was a foot higher and pushing through a bit quicker I might have caught more. A very enjoyable few hours.

Not many fish rising but lots of takes. Mostly small fish but it was great sport. This is a great beat and I’ll be back.
