Took one trout in the fast water, and lost a few others, including quite a nice one. The river started boiling at about 5pm, but before I could get to the fish the rain came down and I had to stop. But hey, that is fishing.

Was planning to fish Llandewi but was higher and more coloured than i expected after the recent rains. Headed upstream to Oakfield Which had a strong flow but a little less colour.

2 Trout around 6 inches on nymph and plenty of tugs from Salmon/Trout parr. Heavy showers and strong wind while I was there so levels will be high for a while yet.

Lovely spot and I imagine it would be more prolific on another day

Well first time here , and in fact first time for donkeys that I've fished the Ithon . . . We re so spoilt for choice in and around Hetefordshire to be honest.

Arrived at the lay by about eleven , bimbled down to the start of the beat , conscious that it was described as only a short one , which was perfect for today , as i was pretty tired from some heavy duty garden jobs on the Sunday !!!!! River looked low but still some tantalising trouty pools on the way down, kept an eye on the cows with calves , although they seemed pretty placid !!!

Initially fished a tiny Para Greenwells , had first savage rise to it ,head of a pool , very aggressive and a nice Ithon brownie to hand , about eight inches , lovely spotty markings . . . Next was also on the Greenwells , then I changed to a fourteen Parachute Adam's and had very savage takes to that too , also interst from five inch parr drowning my fly eeeerrrrr !!!!! Some upwings about from midday , bringing the fish on , and some splashy rises too . . .

Worked my way slowly up , a very enjoyable two hours I must say , brought another six lovely brownies to hand , and also four Parr, so with eight crackers on this lovely stretch I was pleased to be honest , as initially looked pretty dour , but these Ithon brownies go like crazy when they're hooked !!!! So a really fun two hours and ten minutes to be precise, will head to this one again soon , cant see why it's not fished more really, as it's perfect dry fly water and although not ideal conditions , fish still keen too hammer a dry !!! Back soon to this super beat . . . . . . . . . . . .

This is a lovely open beat, myself and S.P the other half had an excellent couple of hours, it was her first time on a stream and resulted in her first wild trout on a dry fly and her second.

Great morning, llanddewi meter was reading .125 so fairly showing its bones but plenty of life about and the treat of a kingfisher too.

This was the second part of my recce day having fished Llanddewi in the morning. The sun had come out and perhaps because of this the water seemed clearer but still pushing through . No fish showing but a nice stretch of water to fish for an hour or two

Fish this new beat for the first time this afternoon. As the guide says, it takes about 2 hours from bottom to top.
Fish rising almost the whole length of the beat, but none large. I think you do need waders to keep your profile below the horizon.
