Cold, favourable breeze. No sign of any fish except the one brownie caught by locals spinning ( fly only water) which they took home to eat. Easy access, 5 min walk from car park. Soft sand wading, be careful.

A wonderful day on Chainbridge, no salmon caught or felt but I saw at least 2 jumping and 1 other that may have been a large trout. One was under the bridge with the bigger one at the bottom of rock pool.
Lots of olives hatching throughout the day with the trout feeding pretty constantly, luckily I had my 5wt ????. I had around 10 trout, none under 1lb with the majority 1.5lb plus. The last fish of the day was a beaut around 3.5lbs! Whilst trout fishing I also had a lively little salmon parr out of the faster water. Super fun!

Having driven up I only managed a couple of hours at the bottom of the beat. Not a huge number of bugs hatching but there were still fish rising sporadically and, despite my usual incompetence, I managed to catch a few on dries and one on a nymph. Pretty cool in the valley with a gusty upstream breeze but the river looks good and not as thin as I feared. Lovely to be back.

Very changeable weather, more like April than June. River still low and clear, but the fish were happy to take the dry fly today.
