Nothing caught

One brown trout on Grey duster (barbless) around 0.75lb returned. Another smaller brown trout foul hooked (also on Grey Duster) and also returned.

Quiet between 5-8pm then quite a decent insect hatch with frequent rises observed.

Lovely beat above the bridge, although didn't venture below the bridge. Fished an evening ticket arrived at 6 pm although hatch didn't start until after 8 pm and constant rises all around. Only managed 2 at 12 and 14 inches. I left a fly box towards top of the beat on the rocks unfortunately, if anyone finds it i would be grateful if they could contact W&U and I can arrange collection. Thanks

Fished an evening ticket. Arrived at the end of a mayfly hatch, caught my first c. 14" trout on a Yellow Wulff. Then a bit of a lull, but worth waiting as then the spinners came out. That was great fishing for about 45 minutes - I caught two more nice fish of 17 and 16" on a Deerstalker, had another of similar size roll off near the net, and several other bites too. Lovely beat with really varied water. I disagree with the post below - there are quite a few swims which are easily accessible, even with steps down to the water's edge, the nice glide immediately upstream of the bridge on the car park/hut side for starters. Thanks for letting me fish it, was a lovely few hours. All fish returned, all in really good condition - no prizes for guessing what they had been eating! :)

The last day of my break in Wales and a much anticipated day.
Access to enter the water under the bridge is a clamber over a locked gate and good steps down to the water.
Difficult wading over boulders and wading upstream (even with a stick) looked too much of a challenge so I walked the right bank downstream with a plan to enter the water but could not find access .
Walked the left bank upstream from the fishing hut for a spell, same result so disappointed, I decided to call it a day and return home. I am not sure that the description of the river having 'relatively easy wading over gravel' is entirely accurate.

Several fish rising

Very bright day with lots of fly life but nothing rising until very late. 1 fish on dry mayfly , returned. . Matters not helped by kids swimming in the river .

Fished Chainbridge for the afternoon. Only a handful of fish were rising given the bright sun. Managed three, on mayfly duns.
