Lovely day, Big hatch about 13.00 . But very few fish rising to take them. Lots of wildlife , kingfishers, mink,rabbits and some very inquisitive lambs.Caught 2 browns on Dial Bach.

Fished the Monnow fishery on a beautiful day in amazing surroundings. Saw a few rises and had two knocks but didn't catch any fish. The river is still suffering from the floods as there is significant bank damage in places. Used a 7' 6" 3-4 weight rod and line, tried various wet and dry flies as an adult Olive Dunn was seen! Lots of small black gnats were near the bankside vegetation too. The water was carrying a slight bit of colour so not totally clear but conditions were good otherwise. The river is showing lots of promise as the season progresses so I'm booking again as soon as work commitments allow. A superb start to the season so many thanks to everyone involved with the WUF.

A blank, althuogh a couple of chances missed and one or two fish rising. Low clear water, cold with a gusty downstream wind. Some LDOs and March browns in short sporadic hatches in the middle of the day but the fish dont seem to have switched on to them. Dry fly produced the chances - nothing seemed to want to touch a nymph. Lovely beat. Worth crossing the river and fishing the left bank on the lower section.

I was using nymphs and dry fly. I did not see any fish rising and was fishing from eleven o'clock until three.

Benhall. Spinning. Fresh salmon. Remarkable only for its size - 8.5lbs.

A beautiful stretch of water. I fished downstream wet fly/spiders in riffles and dry fly / nymph over the glides. The river is low, very few LDO coming off - no rises or trout seen. None caught, but will come back!

1 on bubble 1 on spinner. Hard day not a ripple on the water, reservoir looks stunning. PS found landing net plz get in touch.

River low and clear. Overcast, no wind. A few olives from around 11am and a few trout showing at 1 30pm. Caught two good fish in a fast run close to the bank on drys in the morning.

Great day , no fish!. Lots of flood damage on the upper part of this beat, but still accessible . A small hatch mid day but very few fish rising.

A bit cold and overcast but river in good condition. Not much happening, one hatch all day and nothing rising. Tried various methods but alas no fish. Nice beat and easy parking. Have booked again for later this week so will see what happens.
