First foray out to this beat.....a lovely couple of hours making my way up half of the beat length. Managed 5 wbt and one salmon parr. 3 to the klink and others on nymph below. Nice and open compared to my more local Arrow jungle warfare.

5 Trout, 1 Other

Still a bit of colour in the water and decent fly hatches all day including some mayfly.
However didn’t see a rise all day so again fished nymphs.
All fish took the heaviest fly on the point mainly in the faster water.
2 large Grayling close to 2 pounds caught 1 with the dorsal fin missing maybe otter?

12 Trout, 3 Grayling

Only trout seen rising that day, caught towards the top of the lower beat, with parachute adams

First river outing of the season. Needless to say that the river is very low. Had one small fish and lost a few more (using size 20 barbless hooks!)

Lovely day in the sun , only issue was someone had stolen all the water which made it really hard going !
Never seen the Ithon this low at this time of year

A couple of hours nymphing lower part of beat. Fair clarity and height but no takers.

A rather grey day with little fly life or surface activity searching bottom half of beat with nymphs and spiders. Two small OOS trout and a brief glimpse of a grayling before it wriggled off the hook. Plenty of fry in the margins.

Enjoyable day but wow how this bear has changed since my last visit!!!!
All fish came to a size 16 green meanie ( nymph of my own creation ). Few bumped takes as well and some really fast takes to a size 16 Klink. Biggest oos brownie over 1lb and biggest grayling around the 1lb mark .

Well for a change from my usual haunts went to Llanddewi, nice to have a crack on the Ithon, having not been here since last season so initially tackled up with a single tiny PTN tungsten nymph, one of my own creations with a flashback and tiny amount of red on tail!!!

Worked well, although river low, was reading 0.15 on gauge map at seven this morning !!! Bright sun and quite breezy when I started at ten . . . .

Two brownies this morning both about nine inches, good savage takes on the nymph, good fun, difficult to find any more although good to see year one of the grayling were back on form and with a size twenty f fly managed over a dozen tiny 4 - 6 inch grayling. Was great fun on the two weight rod, test your dry fly skills to the max, lightning quick too!!

Nice to see so many young grayling in the river, great for the future although I did see two comorants during my three hour sortie this morning ggggrrrrrrrr!!!! Dam things !!!

A fun few hours , river is a bit quiet to be honest and really somewhere more shaded like Noke or Litton may have scored better today. That said good fun as always and hey, beats a day at work hands down. . . . Back on another beat in a couple of days. Sorted!!!

River at .20 and pushing through quite strongly, no real sign of fish. 4 small trout and 2 others around 9-10”.
Several others shook themselves off partly due to lack of attention and also fishing barbless hooks.
Used #22 cdc something’s, #18 Klink, Duo with #18 tungsten hares ear. No sign of the Ladies.
