River was 0.4m on the gauge. A couple of salmon showed but I think they were long term residents. Was fly fishing all day. Lovely spot to have a day's fishing and not disappointed to blank considering the conditions. Will look forward to returning.

1 x coloured hen salmon, 30 inches; 1 x coloured cock grilse 26 inch, both on a size 10 Bann Shrimp and returned unharmed. Many thanks to owner Barry Pareskevas for the invitation for an evening's fishing. Thanks also for the recent trimming work which has made the banks much more accessible. I always enjoy an evening on Chainbridge, which is quite a magic place at this time of year, especially on such a warm evening as this. Once in the river, the caravan site and the road disappear from view and I always seem to see something surprising and interesting. This time it was a hot air balloon which hovered low as I returned the second fish; last time it was a grass snake swimming across the river. And invariably, at dusk, a big fish shows just once in the Chine - you could almost set your watch by it - and, just as invariably, I fail to persuade it to take. Lots of big trout were rising as the light faded. And owls were hooting in the trees overhead as I was taking the rod down and packing everything away in darkness.

No salmon caught. A nice stretch of river but needed more water - the river was running about 4" above summer level. Saw one salmon but it was not interested in our flies. We did catch 6 trout whilst fishing for salmon on a Stoats Tail, one of which was over 2lb and a nice fish.

Arrived at 7 a.m. to find the river at good fishing height (0.72m and falling) but unexpectedly a deep red colour with visibility of 6 inches.

Toiled with a large gold and yellow flying C for 6 hrs with only a 4oz and and 8oz trout (equals my season's record!) to show for my efforts. Owner Barry arrived with a colleague and a most enjoyable afternoon ensued. River dropped to 0.64m during the day clearing slowly. Had a swish with the 15 footer for a few hrs. Then spun below the bridge. Not a trout or salmon showed all day. Decided to have a last fling on Rock at 6pm and was rewarded for my persistence when a lovely 10lb hen accepted my Golden Killer, tore off with attitude and leapt out of the water above me. After a lively fight she was returned and swam off strongly. Another lovely and lucky day.

After the promise of much needed rain from the Met Office arrived to find the the river still showing its bones 0.42 on the gauge and crystal clear.
Met fellow blog brother (L.T. from Creigiau) for the first time and as anticipated enjoyed a lovely day in his company.
Swished in vain with the 15ft on upper beat then left L.T. casting for trout rising to a reasonable hatch of Ephemera.
Arrived at newly manicured lower beat and found it much more accessable. Saw a fish chase and take my Rollo Silver Bullet (copper blade) just above the cables and landed a 6lb red cock fish - safely returned.
Entered the water under Oaks with all the delicacy of a sheep falling in. Even the resulting tsunami didn't put off a similarly red 7lb cock fish which took first cast - again safely returned. More salmon madness. Two in 15 minutes-another great day!

Very sunny day and river very low, not ideal. Beautiful beat, well maintained. I fished from 8am to 8pm but did not see a fish (salmon or brownie). Few rising late (chub).

River was a bit low. Tried hard but no fish. Fly fished solely for Salmon but no luck. I like the beat, as does my wife who finds the bank a pleasant reading spot. Wye and Usk Foundation very efficient and helpful.
