7 trout caught on dry fly but many more takes missed. You need your wits about you as takes can come at any time and can be very close. The conditions were very bright with an upstream breeze. Wish I had put more Sun cream on. An amazing day. All fish were taken on a small march brown soft hackle.

Wonderful spot. Spent a couple of hours in the evening. Didn’t see a single fish. Possibly spent too long at the lower end of the beat and so ran out of time to explore the deeper pools at the top end. My first wild stream, but will be back.

Cooler windy day but some mayfly hatching made for a good afternoon. All fish really well conditioned and good Ave size for a little river. 1 to nymph when it was quiet the rest large dries cast to rising fish. All fish returned.

Two of us enjoyed a day euronumphing with our lightweight 10ft rods. A welcome change to fish a nice, open, accessible beat after previous battles with overgrown wild streams. My buddy, who a much more competent river fisherman, netted 6 but I managed to beat my previous personal best for a river trout with a fine fish of about 1lb. Not quite a match for the 1.5 - 2lb monster my friend caught but still something of a result.

Fished an evening ticket. Arrived at the end of a mayfly hatch, caught my first c. 14" trout on a Yellow Wulff. Then a bit of a lull, but worth waiting as then the spinners came out. That was great fishing for about 45 minutes - I caught two more nice fish of 17 and 16" on a Deerstalker, had another of similar size roll off near the net, and several other bites too. Lovely beat with really varied water. I disagree with the post below - there are quite a few swims which are easily accessible, even with steps down to the water's edge, the nice glide immediately upstream of the bridge on the car park/hut side for starters. Thanks for letting me fish it, was a lovely few hours. All fish returned, all in really good condition - no prizes for guessing what they had been eating! :)

4 trout ranging from 6-16" on an Adams. Very few rises during the day, possibly due to the north easterly wind? Not fished the Monnow before. An enjoyable day on the river.
