Beautiful day on a serene and peaceful stretch of the Monnow. Things were relatively quiet. The odd sip and surface rise, but not much. Finally caught a small dace on a Jingler Fly. Will be back

Mick guided us for the morning. Excellent company, definitely recommend for anyone unfamiliar with the beat. His knowledge and experience v interesting. River had strange tinge, despite being good height (0.34).
As for salmon eerily quiet, think similar story for all beats above Monmouth. Sporadic hatch of canoes started about 10.30.

All the dates that I have been their i did not catch many trout as you can see I only caught 3 fish at least.

Evening session, ideal conditions, all fish took from a wading position mid river to large pellets, the covering of what looks like blanket weed across the riverbed is not something I've seen before and doesn't bode well, it is everywhere.
Get involved before we lose this exceptional river and its wildlife.

Conditions were "challenging" with a very low river and barely any surface activity. Found a few fish upstream of the bridge on Euro nymphing tactics. It was still a very enjoyable day in one of my favourite locations.

Absolutely stunning beat with great birdlife. Fishing a little more tricky today with the rain now some time ago, but I managed a few on nymphs. Lots of parr and very small trout around - usually fell off the hook before being landed - but I had 3 which were 13-15". Best fish was in fact a super 16" grayling.
