River in perfect condition, unfortunately my fishing skills weren't. Spent the day pike fishing and although the river was spot on, I didn't catch. Wish I had taken my Barbel and Chub gear instead!

Went pike fishing but no fish, great stretch lots of pegs but lots of walking would recommend little tackle as possible.

River very low and clear. Good looking conditions. I should have fished on the lower part of the beat and found some deeper water but only had half a day.
Nil caught beautiful location and I will be back. There is now a sign on the fence at the car parking area.

Beautiful venue with some great swims. Weather conditions were spot on and the river looked great too. We started in the last peg on the stretch, fishing into the edge of the large slack. We sat here feeder fishing with maggots for the best part of 4 hours without a touch. We then moved to the opposite end of the river and had a similar result. We spent the last hour of the day pike fishing and managed a pike each. 16lb 12oz and another of 10lb 12oz both taken on dead baits presented close in.

I wanted to fit in a trip to the Wye before the cold weather set in but apart from the pleasure of being on the river, there isn't much to report. The water looked good and I fished six hours with various baits but the fish refused to respond. A frost the previous night seems to have killed things off and I blanked. Happy Christmas to all at WUF and thanks for some excellent fishing during 2013.

Fished the first 2 pegs on the right bank, used a wide range of baits (from maggots to pellets). Only caught 2 chub on maggots. River was low and clear.

Deadbaiting for pike, 1 pike taken early morning approx 9lbs and no other runs etc through out rest of the day. Thanks WUF for the good booking in system.

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.

Well I thought I had chosen the venue well, cracking beat to look at! Fished nymph the few hours I was there to no success whatsoever. Huge amount of fly life on the water but nothing coming up at all even in the shallow pools. Total blank I'm afraid.

No fish but great to be out.
