Wales Fishing Holiday at Former 1950s
Welsh Fishing & Country Club
| Monnow Valley Fishery offers one mile of fantastic
coarse and fly fishing for grayling, chub and trout on the
lower reaches of the River Monnow. The area is just a few miles upstream of the historic Welsh town of Monmouth and set in the middle of 400 acres of farmland. This part of the River Monnow was a popular fishing retreat back in the 1950s, when the manor house was used as a Fishing and Country Club.
(Click here for photos of the old Country Club.) Now under new ownership, the beat is now available again to the public from Spring 2007. |

| With a good mixture of riffles and pools, the Monnow
has earned its reputation as one of the best for
trout fly fishing, especially for dry
fly fishing in May and June, with the spectacular
mayfly hatches. The lower Monnow, with its slower
and deeper sections, also offers a wide range of
coarse species including chub and grayling. Bookings are limited to three trout or coarse rods per day, with prices starting from £20 and made through the Wye & Usk Foundation's booking office. |
