Nothing caught but several good size fish showing. Gillie came down and gave us some tips which was really appreciated. Lovely day, thank you.

River quite high, ledger fished from last swim on right bank using a variety of baits, pellets and meat

Three small trout on dries... also pulled large flowering Himalayan balsam plants at the several of the strimmed access points to the river. As part of the wider efforts to clear HB from the Monnow completely, perhaps the beat owners / managers could be briefed to keep an eye out for these plants and pull them on sight, rather than relying on anglers being informed enough to do so?

A nice day on this beat, sadly no barbel again! All fish caught on meat either feeder or rolling. Fish to 3.12.

Fly fishing 0900 - 1330. Cloudy with gusty north westerly breeze. Very few fish rising. Awkward to cast in gusty wind, water too calm where sheltered . Four trout eventually.

Only looked at top end. Few if be any reasonable points of access. Tried walking through the wood and gave up. Disappointing
