Despite the bright conditions and low water (still), there were plenty of fish rising, especially later in the day and obviously where shade was greatest. Managed a nice 16" brown plus a further 10 brown taken on a paraloop black gnat pattern size 16. Interesting to still see both Yellow May Duns and Mayfly coming off although in small numbers. Also looked as if there might have been the odd Pale Watery emerging as well. As the water was so low and clear it has helped me to improve stalking skills. A very enjoyable three days fishing despite the conditions.

Water still very low with no freshening despite recent rain consequently the water was very clear and therefore making stalking more interesting. Managed one Grayling of 4", plus two small browns of 5-6". Less cloud cover and therefore brighter than previous session.

This was the first of three qietish days which was mostly overcast and cooler thasn recently. Plenty of fish rising with a fair number probably on the small side, however managed one 4" grayling and two 10" browns and lost a further two reasonable fish as well. The beat was very low and silty in places with the water running very clear making it more a stalking event.

Difficult day; water very low and fish lethargic. No rise to speak of. Two very small grayling.

Two wbt, both 13 inches. One on tiniest gold head, other on pared down grey duster, size 16. Extremely hard fishing, with low water, ribbon weed and bottom blanket weed that regularly broke to the surface. Very little evidence of rising fish all day.

Disappointed to see that an earlier poster who pointed out the awkwardly placed barbed wire at entry point has been ignored - this wire is double stranded and at groin height. The owner should really have the courtesy to contain this for fishermen.

The weekend rain seems to have missed the Monnow but a reasonable summer flow promised better fishing than my two little Brown Trout (6") and even tinier Dace suggest (all returned fine). Olive Klink and Para A were on at the time with May and Yellow May imitations unsuccessful despite sporadic hatches. As it seemed only tiddlers were rising I was disappointed not to tempt anything to a nymph or spider, my failing as I'm sure the better fish were lurking there. Wading access is very easy on this beat.

Lovely stretch of water, caught 6 W.B.T. on goldhead pheasant tail. Well worth a visit, water very accessable, wading very easy, and there's a pub - what more can you want!!!

A blustery day and water slightly coloured..........I'm trying to make excuses for my own failings, I caught one small 7inch WBT on an F fly, my friend blanked but we both enjoyed the day.

Heavy rain night before, river real funny colour, after every cast tippet, line and fly covered in green slime, needless to say no takers. Pity as it looked nice stretch of river, just seemed very dead on this day, only a couple of fish seen moving all day.

Wonderful day, fantastic bit of water. I blanked but me son had two nice trout. We will be back.
