Hot sunny day, river low and clear. 2 brown trout to 10inches using Adams. 1 small brown trout with a green dry fly name unknown. 1st class days fishing, too much sun!

Three days on the Edw, starting at Aberedw and working up all four beats to Hundred House. The rain put some colour in each morning and we managed only a few hours each afternoon as it fined down (before the next downpour). That said, it fished well to Klinks, Adams and Nymphs and we had 6 trout each day between us. All small wild brownies between 4-10 inches.

Fished for a few hours on Sunday morning from about 8am to midday. Quite a cold morning and the river was still carrying a good amount of water. It was a tough session - things only got going with a decent olive hatch from 11am onwards when the sun came out. 4 wild browns and a few others lost on klinkhammer & nymph, nothing over 8".

Nice spot, some movements, regretly I had to return very quickly to Northampton. I'll be back with more time.
Several rises, some little trout were rising to a dry fly.
Very nice spot, easy to find the park. By the way the box for the vouchers is very helpfull (don't pick up).

I'd booked Aberedw in the hope that Tuesday's rain would have washed through, it hadn't. My first two hours consisted of a pleasant upstream walk bird watching, interrupted here and there with a bit of casting practice. At about 2pm I was at the start of the beat contemplating the drive home when several fish started feeding. I've a lot to learn about fly life but the size 16 Iron Blue Dun looked a good match. Bingo! Happy Hour! One fine 11" fish to the net and several others pricked. Went home a happy man.
I'd stayed in the area for three nights. Peter Evans runs a truly remarkable B&B at the Old Storehouse on the banks of the Brecon Canal. www.theoldstorehouse.co.uk

All trout were caught on small nymphs (gold head). Only a few up winged flies came of the water. No real hatch.

Having seen nothing at Hergest, tried this beat for afternoon. Some good fish moving in the big pool 100 yards from the bottom, and they went for a Grey Duster and Iron Blue Dunn, but did not take.

Just one 8 inch brownie that took a Greenwell's Glory. Only rose one other but struck too late (or maybe too soon!). Saw a few fish so felt I should have had one or two more on this beautiful beat. Found the bedrock and gravel dangerously slippery, maybe should have taken felt soled boots rather than the so-called 'sticky rubber' ones.
