Parked on the corner, fished the bottom meadow. It was a slow start with only 3 Chub in the morning. Don't get the first Barbel until 3.00pm, it was worth the wait 10lb 2oz my first double on the Wye. Caught 2 more the best of which was 7lb12oz. All caught on pellets

River up a bit, lot of fly life but I didn't see any rises at all, gave up after 3 hrs

Monnow, challenging little river, described as the river with overgrown banks.
Yes, that the beauty of the wild rivers. Not like the Thames with trimmed grass and paved walkways, you really need to work it out how to gain the tail.
Long rod, keep at home, along with the reel, time for Tenkara, works really nice.

Right, water clear, 15c, south wind, dizzy morning , sunny afternoon.
Polish nymphing most effective metod, bit surprised by previous reports left by unlucky anglers.
Two brownies 10 and 22inch, couple of 8inch chubs, skimmed grayling and blacknosed dace.

2 Trout, 1 Grayling, 2 Chub, 1 Other

Great day in idyllic setting. All fish caught on various nymph patterns with gold bead being the favourite.

2 Trout, 4 Grayling

Two decent Barbel, 7lb 5ozs and 8lb 1oz on pellets in Legg Meadow. Water level too high to try the wood section.
