Unfortunately the river was too high and we were washed off

First time on the Ithon and it was high and coloured and we had to work hard to catch any Grayling. Biggest Grayling around 1.5lbs.

15 Grayling

Fished from early against high and rising water. We left at lunchtime but not before Mick (fishing as our guest) took a 24lb cock from Vanstone.

1 Salmon

An 8lb salmon caught at 5.25pm on a Willie Gun tube.

One fish lost from triangles. Lots of fish seen whilst fishing little run but despite covering them fairly well nothing showed interest.

nice day on the lugg with air pressure perfect and water up slightly . most grayling came from the oxygenated water french nymphing with single cinnamon baetis size 18 jig with 2,5mm tungsten bead. size wise varied with several 8-12 inch fish , a handful around the fourteen inch mark one at sixteen and one bruiser 18-19 inches which was the first of the day second cast. another couple of inches on the gauge would of been perfect but can,t grumble with a decent catch return. all trout healthy and hard fighting. i dropped back below the bridge at 4pm to the pool in front of the holiday cottage and was hoping for a steady rise of fish to the midges swarming but sadly other than four to size 22 midge pattern they never really switched on. all in all a good day had.

Excellent days fishing. All fish caught on hair rigged pellet and hair rigged luncheon meat.
The water level started rising around midday, which slowed the bites down a bit, but still had bites consistently throughout the day.
