Feedback & Reports

3 hours fishing from about 2pm to 5pm. Didn't catch or feel anything. There were fish rising, however, in sparse numbers.

Caught two brown trout (8" and 6") and a 7" grayling, all with a Parachute Adams on a light 7ft rod. Weather was overcast with the occasional heavy showers and the water was quite coloured. Saw only a few rises but decided to fish with the fly anyway. Would have had had about 8 if I had more experience.

Beautiful warm evening, Patchy rise, we had 3 fish, 1/2lb to 1 1/4lbs around 7.45 pm. River remains surprisingly coloured.

Great day, lovely weather. Caught two small brown trout, both returned, both on small dry fly which was with the kind help of the other rod on the river.

Arrived at the beat at midday to find water a bit coloured but level & flow good. Whilst tackling up I noticed that across from the car park, fish were regularly rising so took that as a good sign to fish dry and tied on trusty Adams. The rest of the day saw fish rising steadily to a variety of flies with fish taken from several ideal dry fly stretches. One run in particular delivered several fish, one after the other. I felt rather like Skues's Mr Castwell who ended up in heaven and was condemned by St Peter to fish for ever the same spot whilst fish were still rising there.
Great day, lovely spot, 15 trout to a good pound and a quarter......pretty much like heaven I imagine!

Cancelled our trip having looked at web cam for middle monnow, (almost 2 ft and rising) and weather forcast, which showed continuing rain. Will re-book Skinfrith for a later date.

The river was quite coloured and the weather was very wet and blustery, typical Bank Holiday weather! Caught 5 brown trout after lunch, all on a size 16 Iron Blue Dunn dry fly. All were returned. Had lunch at The Bell, very nice. I will definitely be back when the river is in better fettle.
Thank you for a nice day.

Didn't see any fish rising not much fly life. After about 2 hours fishing I heard an horrendous noise coming downstream. Turned out to be 2 large open metal canoes each carrying 3 people with their hulls scraping the rocks on the river bed, had to quickly move to the bankside. I had been looking forward to fishing this beat & didn't expect to be disturbed in this way. With my trip cut short by this experience I felt disappointed.

We had 3 trout, 3/4 to 1/2 lb. River at +9" and pretty brown. Late rise at 8.30pm. Lovely place, thank you.

River in good condition, if a bit cloudy. We fished from 1800 to 2230. R caught 4 trout ranging from approx 1 1/2 to 3/4 lb at the lower end of the beat on a Klinkhammer fly. J nil, on various flies!
