The River Monnow at Vauxhall Fields is a lowland spate river and water levels can vary considerably with the seasons. Some sizeable Chub can often be seen in some of the pools. Roach are regularly caught and the occasional large Pike.
There is a healthy population of wild brown Trout and Grayling are commonly caught in the faster streamy waters. When the River Wye floods there is the chance of other coarse species entering the Monnow, even “flatties” have been found.
