Yet again more overnight rain and another considerable rise in levels once again which could lead to more flooding.   Little prospect of any serious opening day fishing certainly on the lower river.

                                              RIVER ITHON TODAY,


Was looking through some old document today and came across this sent to me some years ago by the sadly missed Stuart Jarvis of |Usk fame.    
It lists the catches of the Llandeilo Club from 1956 to 1997 and illustrates starkly how catches have fallen over the years.
Handwritten on the right are some other scarcely believable catches from the Towy and the Tiefi.
Just imagine 32,100 Sewin from the Towy in ONE season and 3453 salmon.   Oh for the old days back again!!!!!   Sadly gone forever.
