Feedback & Reports

14 wild browns mostly 9-10" all on small ptn. Virtually no hatch. River very cloudy and, of course, very low. All fish came from the top half of the beat, lower half seemed dead.

River slightly coloured. Caught 3 brown trout between 4 and 8 oz and I grayling of about 12oz. Two trout caught on dry Adams. Grayling and one trout caught on pheasant tail nymph.

Caught one 16in chub and 28 trout to 13in on March Brown.

Perhaps not the best day for my first time on the Monnow - an amber Met Office warning for high winds coupled with horizontal rain made it a challenge. Alas nothing caught but at least a chance to get to know this stretch of the river. Despite the conditions steady numbers of yellow mays, olives and mayfly - but few rises. Certainly a beat to come back to when the weather is more clement.

4 x BT returned. 4 hours fishing. Couple of hours around lunch time couple of hours in the evening. Lots of may fly but fish not really rising. 2 x on may fly spinners and 2 x on emergers.

Lovely beat.

There was two of us fishing myself and friend from demark, my first river trip and his first time in Great Britain fishing. He took five half pound browns using a dry fly, I took seven using dry flies, largest brown being about 1.5 lb. The beat was fantastic and we were joined for lunch by two local dogs. The booking through the office was so easy I could not believe it. The ladies were so helpful and they did what it said on the tin, I will definitely be back.

Only one of us could make trip in the end.
Conditions difficult with cold downstream wind and river coloured. No rise to speak of, just the occasional fish on surface. However, 3 fish to a olive klinkhammer - 8 inches, 10 inches and finally a magnificent 18 inch beast. All fish returned safely. Thank you for the great day.

8 or 9 brown trout all on a dry fly. Lots of fly life, mayflies, yellow mays, medium and small olives, several species of sedges and midges.

Only had 2 hours around midday, so only fished middle half. River very low, but regular rises when the wind died. 1xWBT approx 1 lb on gold beaded PTN. Managed to shake off another that took a parachute adams. Lovely beat - look forward to tackling it when it has more water.
