Adjusted my client day as he had aged parent issues, rearranging for mid Seotember, so onwards to Pontithel ..... Why has no one fished it yet this season !!!!
I had a ball to be honest ... overgrown and like a jungle , not the river I remember it, but they're all going that way in fairness.... Good job I'm agile and don't mind these wild stream obstacles etc etc etc ...
River clear, sitting at 0.171 on the gauge, OK, could do with a dam good flush out !! Just like the Ithon, that brown yukky dead algae on the rocks..... Been closed some three years or more maybe....why couldn't the bankside etc be kept half decent in that time ???? Used to be one of the easier fishable rivers!!!! Dry fly sport here, tiny Para dries, eight grayling and one trout, which I came back for to fish a pool I'd missed him in earlier ..... bang, got him.second attempt though lol .......
Would I fish this again......errrrrrrrmmmmmm possibly ... weird how very few trout and bags of grayling!! Still, great takes on the dries to be honest.... must admit I'm a wild brown trout man , I'd come back, but it needs work here, and lots too, seems like it's just been left, forgotten about, bit like all the other wild streams !!! A fun day, on a private beat tommorrow, happy days !!! Then back in the Elan Valley on a feeder stream the weekend ..... sorted !!!

Nice day. Very quiet. Difficult to find path to reach to the downstream limit
So could not fish there

Float fishing, trotting middle of the river, baiting with hemp & 4mm pellets . Chub weights range from 1Ib to 3Ib
Dace weights approximately 4 to 6 ounces

Seen plenty of fish but was not easy to catch them due to lots of people and dogs around the river. Walking and access from the right hand side was not easy, did not had a chance to walk to the end of the stretch due to vegetation and trees.
Anyway, spent a good day and manage to catch 2 on euronymphing, so I am happy from today. Looking ahead to find different clubs quite far away from towns. As quiet as better.
