Only fished from 7 pm until 9 pm as daytime temperatures were oppressive.

Action from start to finish with 1 Barbel lost.

Another evening on the Lugg - the last this year, the evenings are drawing in already! Again not much surface activity....one pod of rising grayling yielded a nine incher and much more excitement as the rest kept coming and missing the fly....
Last knockings a fish crunched in a streamy run which turned out to be another Lugg beauty - about 8 inches - but that was our lot. Lovely evening to be out though.

Total blank. Very very hot. Swimmers made fishing very tricky. Boat traffic heavy but courteous.

1 tiny dace. Strangely muddy after overnight showers.

A couple of hours in the shade of the Edw valley after a hot visit to the show at Builth.
About half a dozen small trout to a small unweighted nymph/spider. Plenty more too quick for me or came off.

Normally you don't expect to catch much in weather like we had today, but we had a pleasant surprise with 6 trout to half a pound on the nymphs, and 2 dace, of all things! Warning - any one thinking of booking this beat at the moment, the river bed is like walking on grease. Please make sure you have a wading staff, and use it!! Other than that, a beautiful day, and the fish were a bonus.

I fished from 6pm until 9 hoping to catch the evening rise but there wasn't one really. I started near the old bridge pillars for an hour and half but didn't have any interest in wets, dries or lures.
I then went up to the top end of the reservoir for last hour or so and had one brownie to an Invicta when a few fish started rising sporadically. It was a vicious strike from a fish of about a pound which fought like one three times it's size.
It was flat calm when I left the reservoir but the only things breaking the surface were the wildfowl. Still, a lovely evening in a stunning location.

Started at the bottom of the stretch which is full of Chub. I switched to float and lighter tackle for a while to catch chub up to 4lb 15ozs but most were in the 2lb to 4lb range. Only had 2 Barbel up to 5lb 6oz. Moved back upstream midday to try and find more Barbel but continued to catch more Chub. All fish caught on halibut pellets. Bites continued throughout the day despite the hot conditions.
