Fished 9.00 to 3.00.
Nothing caught.

A client day for me on what was a very very low River Ithon ... Wales seems to be missing all this decent rainfall!!! Aarrrgggggghhhhh we desperately need it .... Anyway, in fairness, Rob Alp from London fished extremely ....Taking on board the need for ultimate stealth and presentation to rising fish !!!
I dipped the river with my thermometer ...a very healthy 14 degrees ... cracking !!!
Olives and small sedge on the go from half eleven , and fish responding to well presented dries !
Rob brought to the net seven brownies, had a futher two long range releases and some salmon parr ...
In fact thr young trout snd salmon parr abound this beat at the mo, really good too see. What isn't good is thick beds of bright green algae ... needs a dam good flush through, and soon too !!!
My client did have a cracking day too be honest .... Up in the Elenydd tommorrow ... choices choices, .... but, a sortie at the top of Claerwen Reservoir I think is in order .... lovely jubbley !!
A great guiding day on an old favourite beat ... These streams are low .... The outflows of the Elan and claerwen will be on the agenda if the dry conditions continue !! Last season, both rivers were very sporting with visiting clients....Right, this callsign is ready for a very well earned bottle of Thatchers Gold !!!! Cheers ....lol ....

1 Salmon, 7 Trout

Was hoping to fish the pool in center of beat but being fished on opp bank.
Staryed in swim at start of wood - lots of chub knocks nothing substantial.
Moved swims managed to get down to some decent flowing water probably good for rolling meat but perservered with feeder hemp and pellet

2 Barbel

Morning session, 2 anglers, 10 Chub to around 3.5lb, 6 caught trotting, 4 on the feeder.

10 Chub

13 Chub

3 Trout

Arrived early to a beautiful morning, river very low and clear. The fish were well entrenched amongst the snags, several fish and plenty of tackle lost. Fish taken on bread and meat, others were Eels.

24 Chub, 2 Other

On holiday work my wife and sadly didn’t get to fish on this day (see previous two days’ catch reports).

2 Barbel, 2 Chub

All chub under a 1lb apart from 3 good ones 3 1/2 + . All caught on float using meat and corn loose feeding hemp and small pellets. Had to find a way into the river and wade to suitable spots to trot a float. Very poor access to river no real swim's, needs some clearance which would make it a very nice beat. I was just a bit disappointed I couldn't explore more of the stretch due to the overgrown bank's.

30 Chub
