A fresh 11 lb salmon on fly in the Cafn at 7pm.

Evening session, couldnt get any by the bridge, though lots of big rises. Got a few bites on the flats. Finally got one on GRHE, had a large beaded nymph below that to get the GRHE down to the bottom water very fast. Will try Czech nymphing next time. Lovely beat, great setting, I'll be back.

Six wbt to 10", all in top condition and released unharmed. Another four were long released and I missed five takes so not a great conversion rate. All fish rose to an olive klink and hit the fly with some force. Just the odd fly hatching throughout the day. Good value for money. Thanks to the Wye and Usk Foundation.

A perfect day on the Monnow. Lots of insect life; Yellow May, May, Hawthorns but strangely not a lot rising. Water clear. Four good size WBT (8-11 inches) all taken on Parachute Adams.

Lovely location but fishing was hard. Many thanks.

Two on the hook but not to net, both on dries, missed a couple more, wasn't to be my day. Few fish rising with sporadic hatches. Bright sunlight complemented stunning location but made fishing tough.

Lovely beat with one fish showing just below the bridge. Really helpful owner also.

Fished Rock pool from 7am to 10am without result.

Five reasonable carp between the two of us, float fishing with sweetcorn. Plus a bream, and assorted small rudd and roach. At least the cattle didn't notice us today! A nice small venue, that will probably fish well in the summer.

Only one of us fished for salmon with no luck. River still high, top of beat too high and fast to wade. I fished for trout with 6 up to a pound.
