Feedback & Reports

Thanks must go to Lynn Thomas for encouraging me to fish Chainbridge today rather than somewhere else.
Within 20 minutes of starting to fish I landed a clean 8lb hen fish on a Red Francis Brass tube fly. Later in the day and after a 35 minute battle a 38.5" Cock fish, estimated at 23lb was landed on fly again, this time a Cascade, to complete a truly memorable day. My first and second Usk Salmon.

All fish small. Heavy falls of leaves made it a no go with the dry fly, caught on spiders. Met a nice salmon angler.

6 Trout, 22 Grayling

Fished this streach yesterday, had 3 Chub 2 Barbel. Today, not a bite all day. River conditions similar, but weather was cold, wet and windy.

No fish seen or caught.

Great days fishing. 6 good sized trout caught plus 3 perch. Pleasure to fish this reservoir.

6 Trout, 3 Other

Difficult day, should have fished better

First time fishing the Wye today. Turned up to Abernant at 7am by 8am I was frozen. Around 10am I saw a fish show in Lady Alexander's which I hooked and quickly lost.. Est. 10lbs.
Around 3pm I went up to the Abernant Run, a bit hairy wading but again I was into a fish, just after it had shown. Gave a fantastic account of herself, a beautiful red hen which I quickly measured at 33 inches and safely returned, est. 13lbs.
I must say I was impressed with everything from the river, the access to the beat, fantastic fly water teeming with trout and just the general beauty of the Wye valley.
Both fish hooked on a size 5 salar cascade with a silver body and fast sink tip. Looking forward to 2015 with much anticipation.

Water was at 1mtr on gauge when we started at 1pm. We started at the Rock Pool with flying c's. 2 trout took them but no salmon. After two hours moved below the bridge and watched an angler on beat below land and release a good fish. A few salmon were showing and the water was falling and clearing when we left. Prospects look good for rest of week if we don't get another rise in water levels.

14lb slightly coloured salmon on orange single hook flying C. Hen fish safely returned. Many cormorants on the beat, nice to see some water....
