We caught 1 rainbow trout of 2lb, 3 small brown trout, the biggest of 1lb and 2 perch of 3/4lb each. All caught on spinners. All fish returned.

Wasn't able to fish upper /deeper part of beat (nice chap already ensconced). Fished the mid section, not a sausage. Couldnt stay too late which may have been the key to that stretch at that level of flow.

Warm, overcast day with sunny intervals. We had not fished this stretch before but the river looked in good shape. Most of the chub were caught on float fished 8mm pellets and bread flake and all were all quality fish in the 2lb to 4lb range with a couple pushing 5lb and every swim we fished on both banks produced fish. The barbel were caught on the left bank, 3 from the very last swim and 4 from a swim in the middle of the length. They were caught on 8mm Robin Red pellets and Source boilies and all were between 5lb and 7lb and all in excellent condition. An excellent day on a excellent stretch of river.

7 Barbel, 31 Chub

Fine 12oz brown taken just above Highwell pool, on a Greenwell spider (wet fly). Low water so barely any need for waders. Good hatch of mayfly (or similar, I'm not good at identification) but very few rises. A few bites at Vicarage pool but that was if for the day. Humid. This is s beautiful stretch; saw dippers and a pair of kingfishers.

I thought I was getting better after some good catches of late. Unfortunately not - I caught nothing on this day and even failed to get any interest at all in the many different flies I tried. I will be back though!

The river is a little low of water, but the day was fantastic. My friends Eduardo and Alejandro were the fishermen working there.

The fishing was not very good, at the end of the spot the fish started to move we fished with dry flies and the size of the trouts was very good around 10 inches. Francisco and miyself were working the river.

Lovely quiet river, but limited access down to the river. Fish present. I shall be returning, but perhaps earlier in the season when the banks have less vegetation.

Assume water levels are too low - did not see a fish or any sign of activity. Might be my inexperience!

Fresh 4lb Grilse off Redbrook on fly. Good numbers of very fresh 2SW and Grilse raced through in front of the evening high tide. At the rate they were going they could be in the middle river by tomorrow despite the weed weirs at Monmouth and elsewhere.
