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.

Low water and bright all week, but a good hatch in the evening which brought my first ever grayling, what a beautiful fish just under 1 lb, on a black gnat. A few other small brownies all safely returned. What a lovely spot on the Wye.
