First time here, great river. Good hatches all day, nothing rising. Got 3 on a quill nymph NZ style, couple of splashy rises at the para adams

Fished from 11-2 on what was a cold and windy day. The 2 rising fish that I saw were devouring olives from a hatch that lasted a maximum of 10 minutes which ,by the time I had derigged my nymph setup and tied on a small Adams in the wind and brambles, I missed. Two small trout around 8" came to a size 18 hares ear fished on the bottom. Good to see insects and rising fish again after a subterranean winter!

Didn't fish had I known the car parking place had moved I would of booked some where else.

Fifteen trout caught on dry fly all caught after lunch when I had already been fishing for 2 or 3 hours. So, I was starting to get a bit twitchy, but thankfully had an action packed afternoon. Most successful fly was a rusty klinkhammer with bright green body and a CDC post. One notable fish at a fat 12" was probably the biggest fish I've had from Edw this year. New parking space put an extra 1/4 mile on the walk back to the car.

Fished for a couple of hours on this wonderful stretch. Levels fairly low but managed to land three healthy brown trout of about half a pound, all safely returned. Plenty of other takes on a combination of parachute Adams and gold beaded nymph in fast water raffles. Care needed when wading as some of the bedrock sections very slippy.

Hmmm? The little bugger's ! Two Wbt on G gnats just added to the enjoyment of fishing this lovely beat, that and the proximity of the Seven Stars !

Parked up towards the pub due to work being done in the usual parking spot. No bother, 3 minute walk. Couldn't wish for a better September day. River unusually quiet in terms of natural flies and rising fish.
Using a variety of dry flies - like many anglers I default to 2 or 3 flies but tried 7 different dry patterns and everything worked. Size 14 hook was consistent though, and everything natural looking and no bling!
Caught consistently throughout the session and landed 18 wbt. 5" to 13" and every size in between.
Wonderful way to end the season, thank you WUF for giving me and so many other anglers days we look forward to and always enjoy.

Fished this stream on the way home from hols, spent just a couple of hours here. Trout caught on small Adams dry, caught parr just above the first bridge on Rhyacophila nymph. I did a brief invert sample and was really pleased to see loads of caddis, Ecdyonurus torrentis and some small stoneflies. River looking good.

A nice beat but only managed to get as far as the foot bridge due to a late start. River on its bones today and I would like to come back when there 's a bit more water.
