Arrived at 10.45 to perfect salmon conditions at .77m and light colour. Fished spinner and landed a strong hen fish of about 9lb at 12.15 with the expert help of my colleague John Lewis. Fish was quite bronzed so as the hook detached itself in the net the fish was returned safely without handling. Fish taken on gold and red rapala at the rock..
No further fish for either of us. Nice to see the owner Barry Paraskeva down on such a good day. We left him fishing fly down woodstream. Hope he had something for his long journey down from London.

Coloured river cleared at a steady height (0.7) throughout the day. Looked great from about 5pm - Fish was caught in the Upper Rocks at the top of the beat on a Willie Gunn variant. Returned strong. Estimated 10lb - coloured hen fish covered in lice - assume it had coloured in the estuary?
(WUF note possibly Argulus - river lice?)

Fished beautiful Chainbridge for Salmon from Monday 14th to Sunday 20th August 2017 using fly only. Fished short sessions early morning and evenings. On arrival the river was clear and normal summer level. No takes Monday and Tuesday, hooked a Grisle between 4 and 6lb on Wednesday, played the fish in but unfortunately hook hold gave as I released my landing net.
Thursday the river rose about 18 inches and was carrying a fair bit of colour. Friday to Sunday no takes but more fish moving, particularly on the Sunday. I really enjoyed my time fishing here in beautiful surroundings although I didn't catch, which was probably due to inexperience on my part.

Arrived at dawn after very early start. River 0.7m and falling. Carrying too much colour for fly but persevered anyway. Fished hard for 8 hrs punctuated by a delightful kip on the bank at halftime.
Saw 4 fish in total on Rock and 12 in total below the bridge various sizes and hues.(one 20lb below cables) Mostly runners I suspect.Got drenched 3 times and river held its colour. Had a beautiful 11/2lb brownie at end ,safely returned. Prospects excellent for tomorrow . Go gettum Gary!
