2 Barbel, 1 Chub

Water low in the reservoir and warm. No sign of anything moving to the surface in the afternoon until about 6pm. 1 small brown trout on a sinking line with hare's ear nymph about 5:30 then 2 medium sized brownies on floating line with a Black Pennell. All fish caught at the deeper dam end and returned.

Only 2 anglers fished.

3 Barbel, 50 Chub

x1Barble 4lb & x1 Chub 3 lb. Great spot but only 3 swims the whole length of the beat 2 of which are landing gravel beaches for canoe's. Don't park at the church you will have to walk a mile up stream to the first gravel beach. Like Thomas Wood pegs need to be established to warrant a £25 per charge good job as I was the only angler over the two days.

A hot sultry morning when I parked up at half nine ....should have gone three hours earlier to be honest .... I've found optimum fly life seems to be between 18 and 22 degrees or there abouts, especially here!!!.... over that and things seek shade , classic example today !!! Very little hatching, or over the river ...mind you, old numb nuts choose the hottest part of the day pretty much !!! Never mind lol ....
Managed six brownies to the net, splashy hits on my dry fly, all about seven to nine inches ... right up in the fast, oxygenated stuff now ....The Ithon is now very very low and clear.... really spooky fish too !! Funny how's she's totally different from a week ago, or even four or five days !!!! Mega low and difficult !!! A weather warning pinged on my phone whilst there..... possible thunderstorms Thursday.... Much needed !!!
I did bump into Steve the farmers wife, very pleasant and she didn't see any probs with sorting more Ithon water carrying on from the top of the Llanddewi beat .... email should you require details etc etc ....
A fun slow four hours, albeit hot and sticky !! Lots of horse flies out !!! The trick is yo let them.land then nail them !!!
Time for a large pint of squash with copious amounts of ice in it !!!! Sorted .......

River pretty low. All fish returned, all tiddlers. All bar one caught on nymph, the other on dry. Very few fish rising and hardly any flies hatching. Kingfishers and sand martins nesting in the bank.
