I visited the Monnow this evening for 2 hours after work, the river was up and was coloured, but fining down. Not really ideal but there were fish rising.
What a great decision to fish - in that time, i fished 2 pools about 60 yrds between them - i didnt even bother with the Honddu! In that time i had 20 Browns (all good fish) 1 Rainbow and a Grayling.
All of them were caught on upstream nymph (Pete Jensen - Ragworm dubbing really does the trick!).
Some pics - Monnow fish are so diverse in appearance - no two are the same - they are all stunning.
Hoppy
Ps Tigermoth - i think someone is stocking Rainbows, there are too many to be escapees!
