all on pellet.

5 Barbel, 6 Chub

A hot sultry morning when I parked up at half nine ....should have gone three hours earlier to be honest .... I've found optimum fly life seems to be between 18 and 22 degrees or there abouts, especially here!!!.... over that and things seek shade , classic example today !!! Very little hatching, or over the river ...mind you, old numb nuts choose the hottest part of the day pretty much !!! Never mind lol ....
Managed six brownies to the net, splashy hits on my dry fly, all about seven to nine inches ... right up in the fast, oxygenated stuff now ....The Ithon is now very very low and clear.... really spooky fish too !! Funny how's she's totally different from a week ago, or even four or five days !!!! Mega low and difficult !!! A weather warning pinged on my phone whilst there..... possible thunderstorms Thursday.... Much needed !!!
I did bump into Steve the farmers wife, very pleasant and she didn't see any probs with sorting more Ithon water carrying on from the top of the Llanddewi beat .... email should you require details etc etc ....
A fun slow four hours, albeit hot and sticky !! Lots of horse flies out !!! The trick is yo let them.land then nail them !!!
Time for a large pint of squash with copious amounts of ice in it !!!! Sorted .......

River pretty low. All fish returned, all tiddlers. All bar one caught on nymph, the other on dry. Very few fish rising and hardly any flies hatching. Kingfishers and sand martins nesting in the bank.

Fiercely hot day, bright sun all day. Fished from 0945 until 2030. First chub (1lb) at 1000, then nothing until 1900 when sun finally started to dip. 1 barbel (8lbs 8oz) on halibut pellet and garlic sausage cocktail. Chub on pellet. Cage feeder and hair rig. Water level low but plenty of flow in the deeper water. Boat traffic not too bad and all very considerate.

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

Three fished. Hot and sunny so opted for afternoon and evening session. Maybe over 100 chub caught most over 3lb not much seen under this weight. We lost count as you would expect.A bite a cast. No barbel as you couldn’t get past the chub with any bait at all. Fished down the bottom end which is bit tricky to get to now so travel light. We sat on the bank off and on just enjoying the rest as we were all a bit tired to be fair. River was low with a bit of a tinge of brown still doesn’t look healthy. Meat , bread , carp pellets mostly used with some different baits to try and lure a barbel or two.

Great beat well looked after.

100 Chub
