5 Trout. Smallest 9 inches, largest 14 inches. 4 x on the dry fly during a prolific caddis hatch. 1 x on a nymph. All released to fight another day.

Great day.

River was in good condition and very clear water. From 11am the bugs were out but sadly no fish showing so I switch to North Country Spiders, Orange & Partridge, Purple & Woodcock, casting across then letting them drift downstream. Lots of trees down and tough to get to the river in places but a great day was had

River level very high and water very coloured making it unfishable.

Nothing. Not a bite all day. Tried float and ledger On maggot.

Some grayling spotted but nothing caught. Water was clear and healthy.

Two tiny grayling on a pink nymph and shrimp in the gast flowing upstream sections.

The water was low and very clear. The good thing about the polarised glasses is I coul see all the fish I spooked when I entered the river...some fish of around a pound in size were seen in the fast and slow flowing sections.

Despite the water levels being low there are some deeeep sections. The water level at Monnow Gate was 1.78m.

The parking is clearly signposted along with the access points which were kept clear. The rest of the vegetation is wonderfully wild and will be high on the list of beats to re-visit when the water is a bit higher

2 Grayling

Lovely small-river fishing with lovely tail-outs and pools. Unfortunately could not buy a bite on this day. Nil return.

Dry and wet flies used but no luck. River was very low, could do with some much needed rain. Was a great day out none the less, very scenic.
