About the River Trothy
The River Trothy, Afon Troddi in Welsh, is a small tributary of the River Wye in north Monmouthshire. It rises on Campston Hill, north east of Abergavenny, and flows south until Llanvapley, where it turns east. It reaches the Wye a short way south of Monmouth, where the Wye and the Monnow meet.
Much of the river is less than four metres wide. The banks are steep in many places and overhanging trees make casting a challenge, so a light rod suits it best. The water is shallow in summer, and fish hold in the pools and runs. It fishes well in winter too, when higher water in the Wye pushes fish up into its tributaries. The local angling society describes it as a small trout river with mayfly in abundance in May and June.
Wild brown trout and grayling live in the Trothy, and chub, dace and eels are recorded on the lower stretch near Monmouth.
