Nice days fishing, water gin clear. Fishing with my brother who had one fish nudging 2lbs and another being the biggest grayling I've ever seen which must have been 3lbs.
All fish caught on bead headed nymphs. Great location, surrounded by lovely countryside, will return!

Lost a couple more but the one grayling I caught on heavy GRHE was about 1lb 8oz so well worth it. Shame it had cormorant damage but was healthy enough.

This was my first visit to the Lugg and I would certainly return. The river was at a nice height and carrying just a little colour. I fished with Czech nymphs and caught fish in several places. Most were around the half pound mark with one well over a pound and possibly close to two pounds, I also caught some very small three inch long grayling. The bottom section is very fishable and this is where I caught most fish. The top section was very different. It is extremely overgrown with trees across the river and bankside access nearly impossible, I could have done with a machete and a chain saw! There were three goosanders in the river and I also saw a salmon jump. A great days Fishing!

How often does it happen that you catch a decent fish in the first few casts and think that you are in for a good day!
Third cast, a nice 13 inch Lugg Grayling then had to wait another hour and a half before the next fish which was much smaller.
Ended the day with 3 Grayling, two being very small, all taken in faster water on a pink shrimp. I couldn't find the pods of fish. A big Otter seen fishing just below the top wier. A lovely clear, and crisp day on the Lugg, river clear but running quite fast.

Overnight rain caused the river to rise and WUF kindly allowed a wash off.

In spite of a couple of days of appalling weather, on arrival the water was quite clear and only a little above average. Caught 2 grayling on a size16 gold head before very heavy rain drove us in for an early lunch. Thereafter the water rose rapidly changed to chocolate and carried lots of detritus; we accepted the reality and gave up. Nevertheless it was easy to see the wonderful prospects at Eyton and we will return.

The weather was awful - windy, raining and very dull, but the river was low and very clear so the fishing was limited to the deeper pools. Hard work, particularly in the top section where access is almost impossible due to fallen trees.

the weather was warm and bright, with the river showing 15in on the lugg cam. It was too late in the year to expect much of a rise but the grayling responded to small nymphs fished through the glides.
The cows were a nuisance because they were in the river on one of the better stretches for most of the day and scattered the fish for 50 yards in either direction!
