Very enjoyable evening on the Chainbridge beat, two small wild browns to the dry for my efforts to a pattern I tied to use on the Taff and its tributaries not too dissimilar to an Adams. Both safely released.
A first outing for me on the Usk... I spent a lot of time during my session observing the fish as I do at any venue and noticed that there were a lot of juvenile chub present. I initially thought they were dace but managed to get a closer look after hooking a few of them on the dry. There seemed to be plenty of grilse throwing themselves around and very surprisingly a shoal of mullet working their way along the margins of the pool at the top of the boundary. I didn't see any sizable browns upstream of the bridge however I did see a few in the two lower pools but they were too difficult to cover as I couldn't wade there due to the deep water.
A LOVELY VENUE FOR THOSE PREPARED TO PUT IN A LITTLE EFFORT. WILL RETURN SOON!
