Feedback & Reports

A windy day making fishing quite difficult at times. There were a few Olives, Spinners and Sedges, with the odd fish rising intermittently through the day. Half a dozen notable grayling to 45cm, plus a number of very small this years’ 'fry'. 5 trout to about 3/4lb. Best flies, small PTN (18), GRHE, and size 14 jig type grayling gold heads. Access really difficult in the wooded areas of the beat in need of some TLC. Found a good pair of sunglasses, contact the Foundation for my contact details.

1 x 12" trout, 1 x 7" trout, 4 x grayling to 11".
Trout and 11" grayling to hares ear. 3 small grayling
to F fly. All fish returned. Enjoyed the river lots of
varied fishing. Saw one cormorant.

Fished by T aged 13 - one small brown trout on goldhead nymph.

Weather cloudy to sunny intervals. Caught 13 grayling up to three quarters of a pound and three small WBT. Unfortunately, the day was somewhat spoilt by a mother, her two daughters and loose dog who thought they had the right to use the Lugg as a swimming pool (thanks TV country shows). Roll on colder weather when the grayling will be forthcoming and wild swimmers forced indoors.

None caught,river in good condition. Very warm and bright daymay have sent the fish moody. Two cormorants sighted which maybe didnt help.

Didn't see a fish rise all day. Had a few tugs on nymph but nothing hooked. Haven't been able to choose a day when fish are rising at all this season.

Sunny and warm, river slightly coloured but not high. Yes the beat is 1.5 miles long but note the description of this beat states that 'access in and out of the river is tricky in the wooded areas'. An understatement! We found that accessing the entire beat was impossible and couldnt find a way through the 'jungle' in either the upper or lower woods and couldn't get to the lower weir which was disappointing. However, there were still plenty of nice runs and open areas to fish. There wasn't a great deal showing but we managed 2 small grayling in the day and 3 browns to around 1lb at the death on small tups and tung head nymphs.

Ten fish taken on Gold Head Hare's Ear (14) and F Fly. Nine grayling to three quarters of a pound and one small WBT. River was in good order and the day bright and warm. I love this stretch of water.

Bright day, sunny with showers and occasional down pour. 4 fish hooked/landed, x2 grayling 8", x1 5" WBT and x1 14" WBT. x1 Grayling hooked but not landed estimated 15" from Lower Weir pool. WBT taken on Grey Klinkhammer with white post, grayling on black nymph with green flash.

x1 3lbs Grayling, a 6-8oz Grayling and x1 1.5lbs brown Trout. Caught using beaded gold head nymphs.
