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.

Had a very enjoyable days fishing on this beat. My first time fishing the Monnow. The river was a little low but managed to catch 6 WBT, 2 on dry fly, a tan klinkhammer. Then 4 fishing wet fly on a pheasant tail nymph. All fish about 11 inches and all returned. Will try to come back soon.

Total of 3 trout caught (all returned). I had an 8oz 11 inch trout on a march brown. My colleague NH had two, somewhat smaller trout, of which he will post seperate details.

Addequate, mainly small fly. Few rises and most of them small fry of some sort. Very pleasant fishing thank you.

Fished with my colleague JJ who caught a very respectable 11" brown trout. Enjoyable day with some light rain during the afternoon. Hatches of pale wateries and some mayfly. Landed two small wild trout (up to 6")caught on a parachute Greenwells. Missed several others on a spent mayfly pattern and Tups Indispensible. Good sitings of Banded Demoiselles, Blue-Tailed Damselfly and Ringlet and Large Skipper butterflies.

A very nice beat, with yellow mays hatching sporadically throughout the day, although I did not see a trout rise to one at all. Plenty of rises to smaller flies, but I only managed 1 x 10" WBT with an induced take on a brown dry. The only thing that marred the day was a springer spaniel chasing a duck half the length of the river!

Four brown trout - all over 10in - and released as always. Lost four as well.
River a little "brown" due to the previous days welcomed rain.
All caught on dries.
A super day with easy access to the water.

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.
