Again, another fun fun fun session on my local Edw .... Fished the Aberedw beat ....Care needed here as the bedrock is really nasty, with sudden step downs etc etc and big fissures ..That said, as with everything in life, its a silver lining as going slow is the way ahead casting tiny dries here ..Just the best of wild stream fun this afternoon. Actually I bowled up a bit before midday. LOTS of upwings on the go, and sedge too, with fish looking up. Not stacks of rises, but enough to target and be fun right up to when i got out by the house by the river ...and thar lovely last pool that always holds a couple of good fish !!
Pretty sure I saw the Otter when I had my very late lunch, looking over the bridge in Aberedw ...
Fish hammered my dries this afternoon... and the twenty f fly looked a bit like Bobby Sands after a few fish had been caught on it !!! Sometimes the gnarly chewed up flies do seem very effective, my motto is, if its getting attention by trout, then leave it on !! Obviously a bit of ginking or dri shake is needed now and again .....lol !!!
A cracking few hours ..I think twelve maybe thirteen to the net, with a few that slipped the hook, sizes between seven and twelve inches ...A lovely mooch up one of my favourites, and she's looking perfect for dries at the moment. Home time and a chilled bottle of Westons Cider awaits me !!! Tops of a cracking Bank Holiday Monday hey .....lol !!!!

Nice level but nothing seen or caught.

The water was difficult to access also because of cattle in the field. Some rising fish around noon. Caught three trouts on nymphs. I lost a good fish on an orange spider (hook bend up).

Good day out, lots of varied fly life all day but only a few small sporadic splashy risers. No consistency that I could see. Fluked one on a nymph behind a dry as I was lifting off. I was more suprised than the fish.

Minimal hard standing at designated parking so parked up hill by forestry track. Description says ‘private’ beat. Upstream of bridge public access both banks. Walkers, kids, sunbathers, families and stone skimmers all passed by. Didn’t go to downstream of bridge as 3 anglers there all afternoon. They hardly moved. A brief sparse rise lunchtime but never used the dry fly rod. A welcome warm day so surprised not more activity. Lost v good fish on spiders, then 2 more on nymphs from delightfully named sewage pool. Finally got one at top of beat on a nymph.
