Feedback & Reports

River looked in perfect condition, which was nice to see for once. Despite this I couldn't tempt a bite all day, and had my first blank on this beat. Too early in the season I guess.

Cold but enjoyable even without finding any grayling. Interesting to see that no grayling have been caught here since February!
River was running quite low and clear. Saw 3 kingfishers which is always a delight and hope they had more luck.
0830-1430 session.

Regrettably I lost a none retrievable nymph in a willow directly opposite the down stream car parking place - personal pet hate is seeing lost kit on the bank so apologies.

Beautiful day out in glorious countryside, but drew a blank - attempting to find grayling on French Leader with various nymphs.

4 OOS trout, no grayling.

Bright and sunny day with a couple of very short-lived showers. River high & murky after recent, welcome rainfall. So there was no clarity and as this was my first visit to this beat, it restricted my movements as I don't know where crossing points are and so on. And it was deep and fast, so I didn't want to risk it! But it was spectacularly beautiful. I saw buzzards and a red kite directly overhead. And then a kingfisher zoomed up-river right past me - and back down again. Caught one OOS brown trout around 6oz on a pink shrimp. Not the grayling I was after, but a special fish nonetheless. Returned to the water very quickly and in perfect condition. I will definitely be back when the water has regained its clarity. Thanks WUF and landowner for enabling access to a magical stretch of the Ithon. Great parking directions as well, thank you.

A really fun session ... initially started off quite when I bowled up at eleven bells....The day soon warmed up ..got to 17 degrees !!!
Fish responded to dries ftom sbout half twelve yo two ... Lovely to see the Ithon with some fresh water in it, and pushing through too .
Fish nailed my dries in the short window of feeding, which is as expected in these colder mornings !!
Got to minus 2 in Rhayader the last few nights ....log burner time most definately lol ....
Nice to see the kingfisher up and down as well. Probably feeding up heavily on minnows prior to a long winter ahead!!!
I'll try another stream tommorrow, then its just the big wild lakes of the Elan, Bugeilyn and Nantymoch. Thr variety is vast for clients, right up to October 17th .... great stuff !!
Well, I think this callsign deserves a large Baileys coffee, a fun three and a half hours on an old favourite.

Did not fish river too high

1hr or so on the upper section before the water turned into a strong brew :). I'll be back.
