Treowen large lake. And now a new target is set.
06/07/2017
Looks to be the same fish caught Anto Roberts a few weeks ago weighing 6 lbs. Such tail deformation is not at all uncommon on tench in this lake and they appear to be worse on the larger, older fish so it’s unlikely they are injuries. Both fish have similar tail deformities but the … More Treowen large lake. And now a new target is set.
Treowen Tench Tails.
24/06/2017
Damage or deformation to the top of the caudal fin of tench seems to be common at Treowen. I don’t think this is caused an injury. More like a genetic imperfection that shows up in a minority of fish. Have you seen this elsewhere? An early Treowen tench April 2017 6 lbs. Is this a … More Treowen Tench Tails.

Bank Work. Unfortunately we have been unable to complete all the bank work at Upper Hadnock Road that we intended to do before the season starts tomorrow.

Treowen large lake.
13/05/2017
Treowen large lake. Update. Early indications are that stocks of rudd, roach and perch have suffered a massive hit over the last winter. The absence of and dead fish in the water rules out fish mortality due to pollution or poisoning. This leaves predation by goosander and cormorants as the most likely reason. The … More Treowen large lake.
The decline of the lower river Monnow.
09/05/2017
Many of us have good reason to believe that our stretches of the lower river Monnow, like lots of small rivers in South Wales, have suffered a decline in its coarse fish stocks. Climate change is almost certainly largely responsible. With its prolonged summer drought levels, excessively high winter floods, siltation from run-off and … More The decline of the lower river Monnow.

Three committee members have already surveyed the Upper Hadnock Road beat with a view to making extra swims available … More Bank work on River Wye, Upper Hadnock Road.

Hon’ Secretary, Peter Brundret, turned up this undated ‘Meritorious Catch List’ from his M&DAS archives, reproduced below. In reading it we should bear in mind that in those days, early 1990’s we think, we had no still waters. Only stretches of rivers Monnow and Wye. Regrettably no other details are available. … More Past catches and the rise and fall of the R Monnow.
