Just a quick shimmy up the bottom beat from midday to just past two ish ... I did have a look at my fav, the Clywedog Brook, she's the colour of choccie at the mo after last night's rain ..... so went on to the Ithon.
Carrying colour, a tiny bit of height maybe, but gauge did say 0.099m before I headed out..., all of a sudden that brown horrid algae is on the stones ........ seems like the trout numbers dwindle when thr river " turns " ..... I'm sure they make tracks and head further downstream.... The stuff is aweful, smelly too !!!!..Can this get tested by your lab guru's WUF ???? Needs looking at I'd say .... Anyway, fishing wasn't that lively, no rises seen the whole time there, although I did do some clipping back as well with secateurs ....A very very quite river today if I'm honest, six to my dry fly, all ditto in size, about seven inches, .... its as if someone's flicked a switch on the Ithon .... most weird . Certainly WUF the river water sample needs taking I'd say ....Got a hunch chicken shit run off is going into it ... or if you can't, Flag it up to NRW ...let me know what the progress is please TV.M.
Not a bad session .... certainly not the river of seven weeks ago ..... run off ???? Using my hunch I'd say yes ..... NRW, over to you ????
Must admit, I'm ready to get back on the Edw and the Cammarch now ....Can we get a progress report on these WUF ???? After all, some of our best wild streams are out of action at the mo, with no updates for season permit holders ????
Will perhaps head to the Lugg or Arrow in a few days.. in fact amend, not the Arrow,that's closed too !! The one section of the glorious Lugg it is then .... seems strange how long the Lugg is, yet as a wild stream beat we have only ....2 !!!! One of which is nearly not fishsble now..Pilleth ??? More Lugg beats needed me finks ... be superb that !! Anyway,onwards and upwards .... Clients at Nantymoch end of the week .... Happy days !!!

2nd day at home fishery hard day again it seems there is an abundance of eels this year waste of time fishing meat pretty much seized on straight away even taking pellets as well,only chub on float which seemed the only way to stop catching eels.

1 Chub, 5 Other

Success at last..biggest at 10lb 10..rest all over 6lb...fastest, deepest water I could find, 3bits of corn on a hair rig. Lost two hours fishing cos of idiots in canoes....about time W&UF had a word with the boat companies about river etiquette....otherwise..given the current mood we could have a riot on our hands...

River level low. Fishmeal groundbait with mixed pellets and hemp in a cage feeder and halibut and robin red 8 to 12 mm pellets as hookbait. Sometimes doubled on a hair or banded.

Very tough days fishing with the weather bright, warm and clear. Rainfall the night before had risen the water level by a good few inches which peaked at midday and then slowly started to drop again. A dry dropper was used for most of the day but a streamer did produce a couple knocks. In the end just as the light was fading in the upper section of the beat I tempted a nice little brownie on a hairs ear nymph
