Some nice pools and riffles but as other reports say this beat is way overgrown. There were places I went into the river a year ago I couldnt even find. A nice spot but I won’t be back til it is improved. No fish showing. 1 grayling.

Nice day, but caught nowt!

River in perfect order, but very little fly life and no fish showing. This is a beautiful beat, with what looks like classic dry fishing, but much of it is severely limited by impossibility of access because of heavily overgrown banks

Quiet day. Few mayfly and ymd showing but trout not really responding. Encountered a few good fish in a pool close to the top of the beat, thankfully had the 7ft 6” in the boot of my car to make the most of the harder to reach spots. Fish took a mayfly Emerger pattern. 3/4lb-1lb range.

A very challenging beat , very steep banks and limited swims to fish , bottom half of the beat not worth fly fishing.
No fish on dry flies , only saw 2 fish rise , so I fished the duo and caught both on a nymphs

One brown trout caught and returned on the upper Monnow Valley beat. The fish was caught using a green coloured dry mayfly and was about 12-14" long, not weighed but was about 1lb. River condition was reasonably clear with a good amount of water but not too much.

The day was un fishable chocolate brown water will need another week to clear.????????????

I little bit disappointed most of the swims are so overgrown poorly managed. If the water was clear,And fishable I would only be able to get down to 2/3 swims.

Wash out????????

Beautiful day. Tough fishing though on a very overgrown beat with low water and bright sunshine. Two trout of c. 1lb.

First time on this beat but, alas, nothing to show for it. Nice surroundings though.
