3 Trout, 2 Grayling

River was quite fast flowing and slightly high, no sign of any fish, bit disappointing.

Water was a bit too high and running fast. Access was good in places, other places you had to find an access and double back on yourself. Fish taken on heavy nymphs. IMHO the price is slightly high, I would suggest £15 would be nearer the mark.

Lovely day warm. Water running fast and a little high from what I remember from last visit 5 years ago. Caught 1 trout to talk about on klinkhammer. Access to water excellent with recent work. PS if anyone trips over a black metal wading staff near start of beat let me know. Lost in vegetation.

Brilliant setting and promising looking water. Unfortunately still a bit high from rain this week.

Looks great. Typical Lugg with cloudy grey clear water and deep holes. We tried everything no real success. Costly for the beat in comparison to whats around. £15 would be nearer the mark but would try again, its in a special place. Saw Pied Flycatcher.

Lovely beat in beautiful surroundings made all the more impressive by warm sunshine. River flowing fast with only a slight tinge of colour. No rises were seen all day. Caught an out of season grayling of about 1lb 8oz on a Czech nymph and lost another as it came to net. On the same deep run in the afternoon caught a 6in WBT on a heavily weighted Greenwells nymph. Have always stuck to dry fly on previous river trips so I am now well pleased with my nymphing success! Also missed a few takes. Will definitely be back later in season.

Following the helpful advice of the Booking Office the river levels were fishable (although pushing a bit but fairly clear). A small hatch around mid day and missed a take from a micro trout. Some small grayling (1-2oz) caught on weighted nymphs later. Not sure if we didn't get to grips with venue or whether early season blues. Like to try later in May/June to see where fish lie. Very attractive beat and great to get out.

Misty and mild and good water level. A pink gold head shrimp caught the fish (to 14 inches.)

3 x grayling, 2 at 10-11 inches, one at 15 inches, plus lots of little grayling parr. A dull grey day, with the water clear, but still a big current coming down the Lugg. I struggled I'm afraid, until one decent fish turned up to a Pink Shrimp late afternoon.
