Feedback & Reports

This was the first of three qietish days which was mostly overcast and cooler thasn recently. Plenty of fish rising with a fair number probably on the small side, however managed one 4" grayling and two 10" browns and lost a further two reasonable fish as well. The beat was very low and silty in places with the water running very clear making it more a stalking event.

Difficult day; water very low and fish lethargic. No rise to speak of. Two very small grayling.

Two wbt, both 13 inches. One on tiniest gold head, other on pared down grey duster, size 16. Extremely hard fishing, with low water, ribbon weed and bottom blanket weed that regularly broke to the surface. Very little evidence of rising fish all day.

Disappointed to see that an earlier poster who pointed out the awkwardly placed barbed wire at entry point has been ignored - this wire is double stranded and at groin height. The owner should really have the courtesy to contain this for fishermen.

The weekend rain seems to have missed the Monnow but a reasonable summer flow promised better fishing than my two little Brown Trout (6") and even tinier Dace suggest (all returned fine). Olive Klink and Para A were on at the time with May and Yellow May imitations unsuccessful despite sporadic hatches. As it seemed only tiddlers were rising I was disappointed not to tempt anything to a nymph or spider, my failing as I'm sure the better fish were lurking there. Wading access is very easy on this beat.

Lovely stretch of water, caught 6 W.B.T. on goldhead pheasant tail. Well worth a visit, water very accessable, wading very easy, and there's a pub - what more can you want!!!

A blustery day and water slightly coloured..........I'm trying to make excuses for my own failings, I caught one small 7inch WBT on an F fly, my friend blanked but we both enjoyed the day.

Heavy rain night before, river real funny colour, after every cast tippet, line and fly covered in green slime, needless to say no takers. Pity as it looked nice stretch of river, just seemed very dead on this day, only a couple of fish seen moving all day.

Wonderful day, fantastic bit of water. I blanked but me son had two nice trout. We will be back.

Had a very enjoyable days fishing on this beat. My first time fishing the Monnow. The river was a little low but managed to catch 6 WBT, 2 on dry fly, a tan klinkhammer. Then 4 fishing wet fly on a pheasant tail nymph. All fish about 11 inches and all returned. Will try to come back soon.

Total of 3 trout caught (all returned). I had an 8oz 11 inch trout on a march brown. My colleague NH had two, somewhat smaller trout, of which he will post seperate details.

Addequate, mainly small fly. Few rises and most of them small fry of some sort. Very pleasant fishing thank you.
