River too high to fish safely.

No action at all. Clear water but couldn't see anything. Nothing. Not even minnows!

Somewhat quiet on the fish front. A bit more clearance is needed so you can more easily get access. Also a sign where to park would be helpful. However it's a beautiful stretch.

Used dry fly (small). Conditions sunny and calm. Very few fishes rising.

I had an early morning session and the evening session. Despite the perfect warm overcast still day there was very limited fly life. One or two emerging. I saw only one fish rise and another leap, both trout.

Had three trout on the nymph one 6" and two 2"

The whole section was well marked with yellow posts and the map was absolutely accurate on the wading and too deep to wade sections. It's a pretty section and once in the river the casting is pretty easy with a small rod (8' #4 was perfect). It's still callenging to get to the river in most places .... but well worth it as it is a stunning variety of quite glides, pools, riffles and weirs. Enjoy.

Very disappointing! What could be a fantastic stretch is spoilt by impossible fishing on most of the river. Access all along the river is overgrown and very limited points to get down to the river. Location is fantastic but I wouldn't make plans to travel again for this when my local ‘free’ river offers more.

Probably not the best day to attempt this river , constant rain and the water very coloured, i wasn’t feeling confident.
But what a privilege to just be here , the monnow valley is just stunning , what an incredible place . The access points are marked out very well but I found some were quite tricky to enter . I’ll give it another go once the river has cleared

Sadly unfishable due to water level and chocolate colouration.

The river was in spate so a wash-out of a day. Too dangerous to try and get into the water. Also many trees down blocking access.
