Catch : 8 Chub to 3lb 14oz

Looking for pike but too cold and clear. Fished for 3 hours till dusk without a touch. The beat looked magnificent and the sunset was fabulous

This is the second time we have visited this lovely beat without seeing a cloud.Very cold bright and clear. Looking forward to trying this beat in good conditions. Very nice piece of river.

A good days fishing on a very beautiful beat,although it was bitterly cold. The Monnow was running clear & at a good level, had 3 grayling & lost a couple all caught short-line nymphing.

WUF Note : 1 rod

Three grayling and one brown trout, grayling to 13" brown trout to 14". Despite the warmer weather less activity than on my last visit in fog and frost.
Best regards

Comments : 63 grayling (biggest approaching 2lbs) and 4 chub (biggest about 4lbs) trotting. Very pleasant day.

WUF Notes : 3 rods fishing

Preston Court 20th Dec 2008 - 20/12/2008. Pike of 17.6, 16.4, 14.0 and 2 jacks. All caught on whole herring. Short burst of activity at dawn and it was all over by 8.30am. Searched out all of the pikey looking slacks but no more runs.

Lower Carrots & Luggs Mouth 2st Dec 2008. 6 small pike up to 12 lb. All caught on whole herring in slacks below croys on right hand bank. All runs came early on and action was over by 9am. Saw about a dozen salmon leap out.

A decent days Grayling fishing with river level 1'7" on gauge and running clear. Fish mainly caught between hut and first bend and in a pool half way up the open stretch, a few big fish also lost. All fish were taken on tungsten head shrimp & red-tag type patterns fished short line style.However some very good looking runs seemed empty of fish.

WUF Comments : 14 grayling caught

7 chub with 4 over 4lbs and a couple up near 5lbs but my new electronic scales decided to go wrong so I can't be more precise than that.

Just a quick message to say a big thank you for the fishing today. I am nearly there now and one more trip will hopefully be enough to get a few more scenic photos and possibly a bigger grayling.

We had a lot of fish today, mainly on the large sweeping bend above the chalet. We did have some wonderful sport in the mouth of the stream for about 20 minutes but the bites dried up fairly quick once we started hooking
them.

In all I probably had 30 or more grayling with 10 over 1lb with the best at 1lb 10oz and 1lb 13oz. Magnificent fishing in the most wonderful of surroundings.

I would like to get a trip in over christmas if that is ok with you.

Thanks once again
