8 x trout 6 - 15 inches, Monnow Gosling. A slightly cooler day, with dark clouds threatening rain which never came. The Teme here was as clear and low as always at this time of the year and virtually nothing hatching or rising (I did see just a couple of mayfly before finishing). However, a dry fly presented over some of the deeper holes would bring the occasional fish up, provided - and I only found this half-way up the beat - it was a large dry fly.

Two of us fished all afternoon and early evening. Had to work hard for the fish as the water was low. The fish were all in lovely condition, and were all caught on dry fly. Our last fish was a beautiful specimen approaching 2lbs, which was my fishing partner's personal best from a small river.

A very beautiful place and teeming with mayfly but not a fish / rise in sight. Thunder storms and torrential rain the day before.

Weather warm and dry river shade low.
Only saw one fish caught him about 1 lb. Beat very good could do with more fish in it but a good day out.

The river was slightly coloured from recent rain and the weather conditions were good.
Despite that all the fish were hiding, and I had one of those days of knots & tangles where nothing seemed to go my way.
No fish caught as a result, but a nice afternoon spent on a pleasant stretch of river.

The Teme was still pushing quite hard with considerable colour. I did not see or experience any fish activity. Lovely day and the Red Kite that I saw was one of the biggest I have ever seen. A return in about ten days might prove productive but I'm in Scotland then.

3 x trout 6-10 inches, Monnow Gosling. A very humid day with cloud and spots of rain - without actually raining properly if you see what I mean. The bottom end of this fishery is really in a desperate case now for lack of water. I met the EA rep down there who was checking the conditions and he told me they are quite close to making a decision for fish rescue, as has been done in the past during dry summers on this section of river which has a great tendency to lose its flow. I did find a few small ones rising at the top end, but I think I have missed my chance on this one for this year, or at least until we have some serious rain.
