Caught 2 small trout with normal fly

My first time on this beat. Very pretty location and great access from 'The Bell' pub. The large house at the bottom boundary is most impressive - it's worth the walk just to see that. I setup two rods (dry and nymph) but stuck with the dry for most of the day (Parachute Adams and CDC Emerger's). It was nice to see some Blue Winged Olives and Yellow May Duns. I seemed to work hard for four trout and one grayling, although I did lose a few - including one larger fish which snapped me (got a bit excited with the take!). Skenfrith is definitely worth visiting, the bottom half of the beat seamed to fish best.

Had a lovely evening, alas nothing caught, other than a tree. Cracking spot.

With low water and bright sun virtually nothing moved the whole time we were there. However, we still managed a very creditable 3/4 lb Brownie caught at the bottom of the beat on a CDC emerger. Otherwise, dead as a dodo and we were in the pub by lunchtime.

With such low water the fishing was very hard. However, we had good cloud cover and fish moved sporadically over the course of the day. We caught three small brownies on sedge as well as a large number of very small chub, rising indiscriminately to the same sedge in the early evening. A hard but satisfying day.

Good day but very hot and sunny, fish taken to dry olives and emergers

Good 9 inch trout caught in deep pool by bridge. Other refers to Dace. Very hot and bright. All fish caught in shade. All fish returned quickly and safley. Pleasure to be stood in the water. Lunch in the Bell even though they have pinched our car parking. They admit its not there land as they cannot serve food at the tables ! However still a great day fishing.
