A good days fishing, 5 WBT and 1 decent sized Grayling, all caught nymphing. I did see the odd fish rise to the surface and I had a couple of refusals on a March Brown dry fly (need to be quicker), only a few may flies coming off the water today. River conditions good, a dry day and about 15 degrees. A great beat to fish, easy wading and access, parking close to the river and the pub.

Only one little brownie today- a tad over 1/2lb. Lovely day but cold and breezy. Few little hatches of March browns, so just tried to match as good as I could. Only saw 3 fish surface all day. Netted one, spooked another and the third was while having lunch.

Perhaps should have switched to emergers or nymphs- but they are both new to me!

Fantastic days fishing, all fish caught in deep pools using heavy jig flies. Great day all round.

Very hard day , very low river 1 fish caught but a beautiful place to go fishing.

A beautiful location, close parking, relatively easy river access considering the recent storms. River was running higher than usual. Netted one grayling for my efforts, but definitely coming back later in the year.

Tricky day today and no fish caught. Tried everything possible and lots of nymphs in the deeper pools too, but today wasn't the day.

River running off following the w/e spate (.53m ay 9:30 on the Skenfrith gauge) so still fast but clearing. All fish caught on heavy nymphs in pool tails, with nothing in the riffles. Four grayling 10-15" (all in bottom half of beat) and an OOS trout at 16", all french nymphing. I was kept company throughout the day by a pair of Dippers, who often settled on rocks very near me chirruping and preening, and generally finding me most interesting. Another good day.
