1 x trout of 1 pound 1oz

Only one of us could make trip in the end.
Conditions difficult with cold downstream wind and river coloured. No rise to speak of, just the occasional fish on surface. However, 3 fish to a olive klinkhammer - 8 inches, 10 inches and finally a magnificent 18 inch beast. All fish returned safely. Thank you for the great day.

Great day on this marvellous beat. The pool at the bottom of the beat(below the weir pool) is one of he most picturesque spots to be found anywhere in the UK.
Plenty of fly life about but not as many mayflies as I was expecting given the amounts coming of the Monnow. Still a good day with a couple of dozen fish coming to hand mostly between 10-15 inches.

1 out of season Chub and 2 B.T. UP 12OZ.

Lovely beat. Very pretty countryside. Good mayfly hatch every rising fish came to artificial mayfly. Caught two nice plump trout about half pound - each returned. Expected to see more fish but did see beauty in bend above bridge with bank with sand martins - must have covered it many times -bet it is uncatchable. Nice enough beat to go again. Plenty of good pubs for lunch close by.

1 brown trout 10" returned. GRHE Nymph.

1 x 4lb sewin (sea trout) and 2 x 3lb Chub caught by A.D. Trout caught at the start of the beat, the Chub in the pools by the rocks at the far end of the beat. 13 x Brown Trout of sizes 3/4lb to 2lb caught in the central part of the river.
WUF Note: a photo has confirmed this was almost certainly a sewin that had been in the river for a couple of weeks.

Similar conditions on both days, bright at times with occasional light rain. Not much hatching, never saw a rise. On the first day I caught a very small trout in a riffle on PTN, second day another two very small trout on Grey goose nymph.

2 x Penpont Porkers... 17" and 2lb in weight. Fantastic, lovely day. Thank you.

First time on this fantastic little stream, the access is a little difficult to say the least, at the start you need to slide down the bank to reach the water, then there is no way out except for the clamber up by the road bridge, l think the next visit will require a ladder. Now the most important bit the fishing, what can I say?! Stone fly, mayfly, and sedges all day long, and the fish did not stop rising. In all 16 trout to hand and as many missed, mostly small brookies to 8" with 1 cracker @ 14" 1.25lbs. I only fished the lower section up to the weir and went back down stream to lunch now 1.45 a bit late, then back to the start. fished till 5.45. I've never seen so many Mayflies clouds of them, the stream was carrying a little colour, but stealth is still the order of the day, and slow progress up stream covering all the water and I do mean all, trout were edge to edge.

My winter home ties seem to work so I'm well pleased.
