11 x trout 6-10 inches, Monnow Gosling. The mayfly is up, so big flies are in fashion again for a while. Some of the small fish have trouble grabbing onto a size 10, but they are certainly trying.

Landed one, lost another better fish in fast water. Both taken on nymphs. Some surface feeding in morning but none in afternoon as wind got up heavy rain. A lot of the river was static due to low water level. Enjoyed the day anyway.

Caught on gold ribbed hares’ ear dry flies. Plenty of fly hatching and a grass snake crossing the river late morning!

First time fishing this venue. Not so much as a bite. A lovely quiet place. My " old school methods" did not work today. I was using bread and luncheon meat. I usually get a response using these baits but that is fishing for you.

River very low. Fish feeding sporadically 12 - 1 and again after 6 pm. Just 1 trout caught on Dry Iron Blue Dun around 7 pm

A long day, tried all the techniques and flies but none worked. No rises seen all day.

Water levels were low and there was a fairly stiff breeze blowing upstream from the southwest. Flies hatched consistently during the sunnier spells once the wind dropped. Torrential rain between 5 and 7 curtailed sport a bit. All the fish taken were on dries, Adams, Clinkhanners and CDC's. Most were cast to rising fish but prospecting brought the biggest of the day. Best fish was a 15incher with a couple around the 12-inch mark. A very enjoyable day!
