2 of us fished Trelough pool on the weekend and caught 10 fish. 9+ carp biggest was 14lb, all commons and a 5lb bream. It's a great little lake but really shallow in places causing leads to plug in silt.
A little over priced but you are getting the lake to yourself which is great no facilities on site but there is a garage 2 or 3 mile up the road. But all in all a good little lake.

I would like to lay the blame for not catching on a tricky upstream wind but the total bag for the day belies this. Once again it would appear that every species bar Salmon was intent on taking any fly that was offered; the Chub being especially enthusiastic!
One major positive was the knowledge gained from wadding this beat with the levels at sub 0.35 at Ross; both left and right banks of Foy Bridge section are accessible and I look forward to an evening with the single hander later in the season.

Another excellent day out. Again all fish caught on fly, all fish returned both days.

No fish caught.

Fishing with Oliver Burch. Overcast all day. 8 trout to 14", 6 on nymph and spiders. 2 on dry fly-elk hair caddis. All fish returned. Great day out and I learnt a lot!

Fish moving all afternoon - fish caught on various wet flies.

Great 4 hours in the morning, water low but nice conditions. Two 6" Browns and a nice but unlooked for Grayling - released in water but looked about a good 1lb fish. Hooked other small Browns but not quick enough on the retrieve and all wriggled free. All on small just sub surface emerger pattern. Very few rising fish - saw half a dozen or so, all within a 1 hour slot.

This was my first visit to the Monnow and to fishing in Wales. Time permitted me only to fish for a few hours in the afternoon. The river was low and I saw no other anglers. There was no hatch and so nothing taking on the surface. All fish were caught on nymph out of two pools with a decent depth. The best fish was 12 inches. All were in good condition. A most enjoyable session.
I stayed at the Bell at Skenfrith and would have welcomed the chance of being able to fish on the 25th as well.

River running gin clear. All fish caught on fly. Fished this beat last year and the access down to the beat has been much improved as has the path to the upper end of the beat. Thanks as always to the lovely staff in the office who make booking so easy.
