Started fishing the WUF beat of the Lugg at about eleven , having fished a club water further down for an hour , and picked up two crackers on an olive nymph by half ten . . . . . Had some light refreshments , and was itching to get going again . .. . Sunny , clear and blue blue sky , already by eleven some serious insect activity , including some yellow Sallies on the go !!!!!

I did chop and change dry Adams for olive tungsten nymph just to cover the deep pools , although four out of the six fish from the Litton beat were on the Parachute Adams , all between seven and ten inches , great fun , nice confident splashy rises to the fly too , excellent !!!!

Didn't fish the full beat today , and fished this stretch for three hours , spot on. The Lugg brownies are starting to perk up big time , nivoce to see , and the colours of them are superb as always . . . . .

So that rounded off the day nicely , just a few hour s in this peaceful valley , six gorgeous brownies to the net , and four on the Adams , idyllic , back very soon , when the mayfly is in full force !!!!!!,

Very hot day and no salmon seen. Love the new hut and brew facility - great place to take a break! Small hatch of flies around lunch time and trout were taking them.
I saw 3 large lampreys spawning in the middle of the river just a few feet up stream from the bridge. They were about 3 or 4 feet long and a sight I've never seen before.

Fine sunny day with 0.17m on the gauge, and running perfectly for dry fly. Trout are now showing in the riffles. All trout were small and taken on a Kite's Imperial, which is ideal for this time of year. Some stock fencing is detached and hanging due to the earlier floods. Access is still good but a tad trickier than was previously possible.

All on a cdc winged emerger. Top half of beat in good condition, No litter and very quiet. Fish in head and tail of pools.
Bottom half of beat is rocky gutter which holds fish but quite overgrown and deep. Had a grayling from here.

Very windy and difficult casting.
Nothing rising so switched from Dry fly and floating line to intermediate line and caught a 3lb rainbow on a Montana.
Late evening in a beautiful Mayfly hatch still nothing rising.... despite wind dropping! Caught two small brownies and a Perch also returned all on garish lures. All fish returned carefully after recovery time.
