Well, its been an age since I fished a "pukka" wild stream ....The Outflows of the Elan and Claerwen, and a few cold feeder streams have been a god send, during this baking hot summer ...Good trout and grayling to the net for me and my clients.....
The big reservoirs have picked up, in the last two weeks, with cracking days in the Elan Valley and Nantymoch...Anyway I digress, the Ithon is still very very low, but I fished today anyway....... Twas warm between 10 and half one ...21 ddgrees so they said...
Three fish, and i have to say, i was pleased with those bad boys too, in the low, clear water . The NRW gauge said its at 0.115... but I think its much lower than that!!! All fish on the dries ....
Ill get on the Upper Wye tommorrow, and a client day in the mountains on Thursday and Friday !! Right, time for a cuppa, to wet my whistle!!!! A very pleasant three hours on the stream ......

River looking great with a reasonable amount coming over the waterfall. No success.

Lovely conditions albeit water still low in places, plenty small fish seen.
Nothing rising but a lot of nibbles after switching to nymphs.

Caught on small Nymph, River level continuing to fall, no Salmon seen moving

A tough day, despite seemingly good conditions. Overcast and for once quite calm. Nymphing produced nothing and only prospecting with large dry flies in streamier water produced any action. Three fish lost, including one estimated at around 3lb.

Tough day, midday to dusk , no rising fish , only caught one 10” brown trout on hares ear gold head nymph

Hard work but all good sized fish

Just one fish on a small Adam’s. Tricky access to much of the beat with the build up of bankside vegetation over the summer. Lethal brambles!
