Chilly start no wind. A number of trout rising over the gravels taking micro flies. Managed to hook and land a 12" trout which took a March Brown dry fly, in a pool by the exposed rocky area on the corner, around mid day. Bright and sunny in the afternoon. Fish stopped rising. No luck with nymphs. Water level very low and very clear. Nice day out.

No fish caught. Very low and clear water and very spooky fish. There were fish rising but even use of the finest of tippets was enough to spook them.

Water in good condition, fished whole beat on the fly first and lower section with spinner later in the day, no salmon caught or seen.

Brief session. A hatch pulsed around midday and brought a few fish up, but it was short-lived.
Fish on a mixture of dries and duo.

Unseasonably warm with a niggly upstream breeze. Strange conditions for April!

Just a quick shimmy up the top section of the beat , she's in dire need of a good flush through to be honest...Warm and fifteen degrees when i bowled up at the bridge parking area ....
On arrival, some olives and sedge on the go, and also some large brook duns .....
Not much surface activity in fairness...A slow slow wade up a very low river ...The usual locations produced . One was to a riser, the others,caught prospecting in likely water !! Certainly a good five inches extra on height Is needed, just to put some zest back into the Ithon.....
Parts of the Wye at Builth yesterday in the slow stuff , were festooned with that bloody aweful bright green algae !!!!! Rain needed, lots of it too !!!
Fish were of the usual stamp here today, and cracker of perhaps ten inches, the other two seven and eight respectively.....
A fun session from two till four .... back home nd hose the garden afain I suppose !!! Happy days ......
