My first visit to this very attractive stretch of the river Lugg. Plenty of fly life around including mayflies though only sporadic rises from the fish.
Three OOS grayling on beadhead GRHE followed by four trout of which three were on a weighted spider with the last rising to an olive coloured F fly.

Under the expert tutelage of Oliver Burch, we caught about 15 trout up to 15" on spiders and Czech nymph. There was virtually no hatch, plus a cool north wind, making dry fly pretty hopeless, though the (often quite visible) fish were clearly nymphing. A varied and extensive beat evidently full of fish (including one salmon seen jumping).

Fine sunny day with light breeze. Fished NE shore. 3 x 2.5 - 3lb rainbows caught on small gold head damsel and floating line. One 3lb rainbow caught on small mepps. A good day in fine visibility.

Had 3 fish nothing over a pound about midday on an olive goldhead, weighted with 2 small split shots, not much activity on the surface, first time fishing this beat and struggled a bit, not used to such a big river, on way back down the river for home I came across a group of men fishing a ledger with maggot and spinning, no bailiff around.

Lots of flies, but no fish activity on the surface, except one at the upper end of the beat, lost 1 on a small Adams. Tried nymphs as well. Fished from 2pm- 4pm only.

Two 10 inch trout on nymphs. A few mayfly about but no fish rising.

Very overgrown, poor access, numerous rises but missed all.
Good head of fish present. However online booking very easy and a big improvement on old voucher system.

Great couple of hours on this delightful little stream. Lots of trout about. Caught 3 TTs (tiny tiddlers) and one of about 8 inches all on a black emerger type thing (like a klink/hawthorn/Parachute hybrid).
