Lovely place, tried a few pegs but we found the fish in the end. Barbel to just over 9lb. Seen several salmon jumping too, which is always a stunning sight.

Started mid day after heavy rain on a very very slow moving river. nymphing and dry on the bottom section below bridge only produced two trout of 12-13 inches and one grayling of 8 inches. once up past the bridge there were areas of pacier water where the rest of the grayling came from all between 12- 16 inches. the rest of the trout came from the top of the beat all taking size 20 dry . this is a great beat just needs a few days rain to raise levels to get that water moving

8 Trout, 7 Grayling

Had a fantastic day, a lot of trout rising. All fish have been released.

3 barbel caught to about 8lb and one lost, all caught late PM. River up and coloured so really expected a busier day but enjoyable none the less.

River a little higher than when I fished it on Monday, clear enough so that I could still see my feet in knee high water, but it was running through quite fast. Fished the same style and areas I did earlier in the week but with some added bad luck, I lost 4 good size grayling in the fast water due to hook pulls. grayling to 12" and trout to 10".

A very poor day on the river today. River was on the rise and lots of weed which made for poor fishing. To round it off local canoeist decided to use the stretch for there launching base.
Overall the wife had four Barbel the best pushing 6lb. I myself kept on the move and had a zero catch return.(not heard the last of it)
I must say over the week we fished in many areas between Hereford area and Ross and we had a very pleasurable week catching lots of fish. Also lots of very small Barbel, around the 1/2lb mark which goes to show the river is thriving.

A great day on the river. A perfect end to the brown trout season. Got there at first light (7am) and fished through till lunch, a pint and some food then back out until it was dark, 7pm. Unfortunately my friend could only make it for a few hours towards the end of the day, he had multiple takes but only landed one brown trout.
I fished with a nymph at about 18" on a Klinkhammer indicator, which was a perfect set up for the day. Four Brown Trout, three Grayling and one Dace made my day but I also lost 10-15 hooked fish that slipped the hook (barbless). All fish were caught on the nymph except for the biggest trout (12-14") that was taken on the Klinkhammer in one of the slower moving sections of the river. All safely returned.
The river had a decent amount of water in it and felt 'fresh', especially after a early morning downpour. The weather for the rest of the day was a mixture of bright and sometimes a bit overcast. A great day on the Monnow.
