32c on Friday which slumped to 13c on Saturday when fishing this beat. What's going on? Cold, wet day. River on its bones. Managed 3 wbt around 6" and lost a sizeable grayling after a frenetic tussle in shallow water. All caught on an F-fly. Lack of water made for really difficult fishing, Huge beat, easy wading, lots of variety. Will re-visit in better conditions.

River low, temperature lower than would be expected for mid June, and a cool breeze. Fished the upper part of the beat and brought a couple of small brownies to hand, both on small dries. Also rose a few others including one hooked but "distance released". Was nice to see a kingfisher that flew just past me

Our first return trip to the Ithon for more than 20 years, and we weren't disappointed. The river was quite low but we caught throughout the day on a variety of dry flies. The majority of our catch of WBT and salmon parr were between 6 to 8 inches, although we did hook 4 much larger fish which slipped the hooks. It was great to be back on the Ithon, and we will definitely be returning again soon.

Started at the bridge 6 30 am, cold north wind blowing down stream, started with a dry greenwells size 18,landed 7 wbt 7= 12 ins, and 9 parr , no grayling today, good sport on my local water, river very low and clear.

River very low today, some parts were virtually static.

The floods earlier in the year have definitely changed this beat, with lots of trees blocking previously good spots. There are also huge banks of stones where there were runs. Having said all this there are new spots to to try and the fishing doesn't seem to have suffered.

I fished dry all day, starting on a size 16 orange clinkhammer, taking the single grayling and five small brownies in the first 100 yards of the beat.

I then upped the size of my fly to a size 14, and then had my first decent fish of the day.

In the end I had six size sizable fish in the 10-12 inch range and on 14 inch beauty that was close to 2lb, the rest of the fish were in the 4-6 inch range.

Fantastic day out, and can't wait for when there's a bit more water as all of those stones have made some lovely runs.

5 x grayling 12-17 inches, 1 x out of season trout 12 inches. A morning session, hard frost and grey skies. Not so much trotting today as laying on in slacks.

5 Grayling

first time fishing this stream. nice few hours at top section. had one grayling on grey/pink nymph, not sure which as hook came out in the net! plus lost a decent size one that jumped and threw the hook !!

1 Grayling

All caught on PTN, water levels low but fishable until the heavens opened up relentlessly, only fished about 100m or so upstream from the entry point straight across the fields from the two gates, I would imagine it would be difficult to fish if the water was its normal self as there is barbed wire fences along the banks, fortunately I could Wade as it was only about 2ft deep along the length I fished
