Considerable amount of juvenile fish and also lots of fry in the margins. Think it was a grayling I hooked and lost

First time on the Monnow - gorgeous. Mixed bag of weather - sun, cloud, warm, cold, rain and stiff breeze at times. Winkled a decent grayling from the depths and a lovely little trout on a dry. Most activity at the downstream end of the beat.

Plenty of insect life but fish only rising sporadically. Four Trout between the two of us all on the dry fly.
Honours even at two each

Lovely weather, 4 on nymphs, the rest on dries, hatches of olives and mayfly. Jingler and mayfly emerger patterns all worked well. Crazy hatch 8:30-9:15 on the lower beat

Brutal rain but still managed a few between the two of us

Hot sunny/ broken cloud water level low. Little fly activity all day but enough sporadic rising to have some fun. Most fish rising in smooth open shallower water . Very choosy! One really good fish and a couple of medium sized on size 14 Adam’s. Very few mayfly and fish not interested in them.

Then from about 7pm till it was too dark to see there were lots of rising fish. Still very choosy but managed to connected with a large number although only six more made it to the net. Size ranged from 9-14” all in great condition. Fish only interested in small fly patterns 14-18 sedge/clinkhammer/ and Adam’s all caught fish.
