Finally had both the time on the weather to get out on the Monnow System. The first part of the morning was a casting lesson with DanC from the fly forum.
Here is what he thought of the day.
I can highly recommend Frank Williams as an instructor having spent most of the day with him on the Honddu and Monnow.
It didn’t take him long to correct a few misdemeanors and give me a few pointers on understanding the mechanics of the casting process. I found Frank to be very friendly, approachable and helpful.
A real nice guy who also brews a good cup of tea!!
Well worth a visit if you’re looking for an instructor in the Gloucestershire area.

A couple of pictures from the day
Fly fishing on the Monnow, drifting nymphs down the current seam of a confluence pool
Lovely Grayling fron the confluence of the Monnow and the Honndu caught on a GRHE
The river was good and clear if carrying a little extra water. Other than the Grayling pictured above the fish I caught were all brown trout. All of which were returned quickly and with out removing from the water hence no pictures.
