Feedback & Reports

Weather report suggested a cloudy day but instead it was a beautiful day in Abergavenny with a river full of dogs and swimmers. I arrived at 18:30 and practiced casting for a couple hours. At 20:30 it became darker and quieter, and by 21:00 trout were rising frequently in the slower water and I attempted to catch them on a winged brown dry fly. Unfortunately I still didn't manage to catch any!

Went to catch barbel with fly rod , couldn’t temp 2 double figure ones to my nymphs. Had 7 chub around 1lb and a awesome Shad last fish of the day. 5 of the chub to dry fly rest on the nymphs

Water levels seemed quite low and river was shallow and slow moving in places. However, there was a good hatch and fish were rising, Caught 3 good sized grayling, 2 on a CDC olive and one on a PTN in faster water. Hooked a few others (WBT, I think).
