Fishing on the river Monnow over the weekend there were a fair few different flies on the wing for the trout to munch and the fly fisherman to imitate.
While I was on one of the tributaries of the River Monnow, the Dore, there was a good hatch of Large brook duns.

I have spent the last couple of days fishing on the Usk and there have been a plethora of flies and insects on the water but which are the best flies to use on the River Usk?

One of the things that many fly anglers puzzle about is what flies to use; whether it is on the River Usk, River Monnow or any other river; or, for that matter, which flies are working at a certain lake. So I have decided to focus this months blog page on exactly that subject.
