Feedback & Reports

Well gave the Llandewi beat of the Ithon a bash this morning , looking reasonable on the gauge map, reading 0.384 so that could be fished very nicely with nymphs . . .

My prediction was bang on !!! Got there at ten bimbled down to the rough start of the beat and river was pushing through at a fair old pace but clear with that usual Ithon brown tinge . . .

Got going with a single eighteen home tied tungsten nymph , and had success not from grayling but very feisty eight to ten inch trout , lovely condition and slipped back in for their coital activities to commence !!!!!!!

Good fun and only had one twenty minute downpour , after that some nice sun , did try a couple of different dries , Adam's and CDC and Elk but no takers in some lovely streamy water . . . Back to the nymphs and three of my tyings were successful , must be the bit of bright red and pink.in them perhaps. . . . Seven brownies to the net unfortunately no ladies today but river looking superb , will be back very soon when this weather settles down a bit , a fun three hours spot on !!!!

First visit this year to Llanddewi and found plenty of water. The Llanddewi gauge was showing around 0.3 and falling.
Started to clear in the couple of hours I fished but should be perfect in the next couple of days. 8 Trout 6 to 10 inches nymphing with french leader.

Water low

river very low but despite this a few fish were rising. Manage only 1 modist trout plus small fish including minnows.

Angry, strong tea coloured racing water. Did not fish

Fine sunny day with 0.17m on the gauge, and running perfectly for dry fly. Trout are now showing in the riffles. All trout were small and taken on a Kite's Imperial, which is ideal for this time of year. Some stock fencing is detached and hanging due to the earlier floods. Access is still good but a tad trickier than was previously possible.

River at a good height (0.19 at llandewi), water v clear. Beautiful sunny day. Fished the bottom 2/3 of the beat. 3 trout to the net on a hares ear fished on a French leader. Largest just over a pound. Surprisingly lots of space for casting, but means that spooking is easily done.

My first visit to WUF fishing so this was very much a recce . River .4 on the gauge - just after I started fishing a guy appeared on the opposite bank who said it needs to be .35 or below. I fished for a couple of hours with a heavy nymph but nothing doing. About 11am a few LDO’s (?) started coming off but nothing rising.

2 x grayling 15 and 16 inches, trotting. An odd morning searching a few pools; two good fish eventually, but no takes at all from smaller graying. Warm air temperature and river at a good height.
