One or two mayfly only and very little activity from the fish.

2 Trout, 2 Grayling

Our planned day's fishing was reduced to 1.5 hours as car and family problems conspired to keep us from the water, which was a great shame. In spite the river carrying some colour from overnight rain I did manage to catch a trout of 1 1/4 lb and a small Grayling on a dry parachute Adams. Would love to see what the rest of the beat looks like!

1 Trout, 1 Grayling

The Lugg looked promising. when I arrived early morning, the level at 1ft 2 Ins on gauge. I fished a pair of nymphs for 5 hours catching 3 trout and 3 grayling, no rising fish were seen. The Lugg can be a slow starter and I am sure in another couple of weeks will fish a lot better. Lyepole is a beautiful beat, with a symphony of birdsong as an accompaniment.

3 Trout, 3 Grayling

Nothing. No sign of a fish on both days fished, although plenty of fly life. Not sure why the price of this beat is higher than most. The stretch in front of the cottage looked good - but this cant not be fished while there are guests in the cottage - but there is no way of knowing...

Not even a sign of a fish.

Slow start to the day, just 1 trout and 1 grayling netted but just after 14:00 fish started rising and I needed a dozen fish in quick succession all to a dry fly. By 14:30 they had stopped rising so i called it a day. Met and had a nice chat with the owners who were maintaining the grounds of the cottage.

6 Trout, 8 Grayling

river too high

Did not fish - water too high / fast flowing / muddy, hopefully to return next months...

Fished from 8 until 12. No fish caught, and none seen. River was 0.7 on the Byton gauge,and pushing through at a pace. Never fished here at this height and wont be again.

A long day for just two small grayling! Tried all the usual suspects and others as well but the fish just weren't interested ( or weren't there...? ). Good to be out despite the drizzle.
