Water low and sun shining. Beautiful beat and plenty of fishing activity in the evening but proved hard to catch.
Hooked 3 fish with only 1 grayling being netted, other 2 managed to throw the hook close to net (1 decent brownie and another small grayling).

A different day today when I set off from the outskirts of Leominster , overcast , blustery and reading sixteen in my truck …. Wasn’t sure where I was heading , but had seen Edw and Llanddewi were free , kind of followed my nose , and ended up at the Road side pull in at Llanddewi at ten bells …..

Nice bimble down to the start of the beat …. Eeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkk she was low ,I did thermometer dip test , reading 15 degrees , so all ok , …… no real trouty water till I came more or less opposite to where I’d parked the truck on the pull in , then some sport was had , at the heads of the trouty pools …. Real hard work with that bright green filamentous algae that sticks to line , dry flies , everything !!!!!

Still , that aside , sport was not toooooooo bad to be honest , fished an eighteen Para iron blue and an F fly , both with success , prospected most of the rises , but cast to two , and had the both , so that was nice . Five lovely Ithon brownies to the net , three of them nice chunky ten inch fish , also an eight inch grayling on the dry , very satisfying take too !!!!

Some serious changes to the river shape , and from what I remember a lot of pools gone , new ones there , and masses of piled up gravels , a good winter Will settled this old girl down , she looks in a bit of a state to be fair . More gravel than water ….. sad to see ….

Anyway , must have been a while since I’ve fished the Ithon , was nice , good flush out needed , lovely and open , and always fun here , steady wading too , nothings an effort here , just bear in mind it’s a long beat , I chose the field walk back as opposed to that mad fast road , there’s only sheep in there at the moment , so all good ….. a pleasant three hours , and some good sport …. Sorted !!!!!!!

5 Trout, 1 Grayling
