High water but good fun for a couple of hours.

6 Trout

No fish hooked or caught. Water still high and better suited to Salmon fishing than Trout. Fished just below the town bridge and then walked down river to the shingle island but found the floods had washed the bank and fence away making it impossible to fish the right bank in this area. There is now a 10ft shear cliff edge with the barbed wire fence in the river and no way of getting down to the water.

Caught nothing but had a good time.

Weather overcast with the odd shower and light wind. One of the trout was a good size about 1.5 lbs. Fishing with nymphs, pheasant tail and shrimp patterns. All fish returned. It was my first visit to the area and I found the access from the Byefield Lane car park through the meadow to the river very easy.

Weather was very hot, 28 degrees. Signs in the morning of fish rising and surface feeding. Used a dry dropper method.
There was a very large amount of the public in and around the river whilst fishing making certain areas almost impossible to fish. Dogs running into the river in most accessible areas and in all accessible areas from the bank were numerous members of the public swimming in the river mostly by the llanfoist bridge and the banks along the Abergavenny town side of the river.
By 1300 - 1400 hours the accessible parts of the river were un-fishable due to the number of people and and dogs in the river.

No fish caught and ended the session early at 1500 hours.
