Feedback & Reports

Was expecting more water in the river which was quite low. With the blistering hot weather I knew it would be a hard day, which it was. Only managed to connect with one good fish on the upper part of the beat but can off. Plenty off olives large/small coming off and plenty of rises on the middle flats. Didn't try to approach these fish but a better fisher would have. Nice to get out though and had an enjoyable stay in Monmouth.

One rainbow and one brown trout that I returned.

Just one catch across 2 passports

Lovely sunny morning. Female otter in Rectory Pool - beautiful sighting. All trout caught on dry fly during light olive and a thin mayfly hatch.

Beautiful stretch of river. Fished for about 4 hours. Only saw one fish and didn't catch any.

Evening session in the hope that the mayfly would be on the menu for the trout. However, despite plenty of fly life, minimal surface activity. Preserved with a dry and enjoyed the cooling water after such heat earlier.

Nil return! We laboured under a bright and exceptionally hot sun, and then had to leave before what looked to be a promising evening rise. A fabulous beat, but with very challenging access - not one for those with limited mobility!

Sweltering day, as expected very tough. Plenty of bugs hatching - mayflies, brook duns, olive uprights, blue winged olives etc. Fish rising intermittently through the day mostly to the smaller olives, and then only consistently from 9pm onwards. Tempted one rise during the day but it was a brute, a new pb of 22 inches. Couple more during the evening rise, one of which was 18 inches.
