Yes the Monnow system is special .
Last weekend i drove 3 hours there ,fished for 5 or so hours at Skenthrith on the main stem of the monnow .
mick my regular fishing partner and i had a great time catching goodly numers of 8-12 inch fish all on drys
Mine came all to a jaxes Roughy ,Thanks Jax ! The downer was the long drive back into London ,work on monday was a big effort!!!!
Re the Monnow if your liver is strong a great way to learn the river is attend one of the MFA spring social events ,Camping at Longtown ,dinner and breakfast laid on .
Vats of beer ,wine and whisky consumed in some very good company and access to some of the very best beats ,one day on a tiny upland stream the other on a bigger beat .
great company and folks from all over the UK all keen river men .
