Feedback & Reports

Excellent day feeder fishing. Caught on meat and boilies. River up a bit and a big storm later in the day. Some swims were steep and slippery so risky when it was raining heavily.

Dufnant is a beautiful, secluded feeling place even on a day that started gray and finished in proper stair-rod downpours. I found it quite hard going, not straightforward to fish - especially on a decidedly not dry fly day - and a tough wade to boot. For the first hour I neither caught nor saw or trout even in some promising riffly water. Then I caught one - a beautiful purple brownie of a pound plus, then another, and so it went. And I caught more or less steadily thereafter. But the day (the week? the year?) was made by one terrifying, glorious beast of 3lb 2oz.

Cold downstream didn't help much today but managed to winkle a few out on gold bead nymph and spider. A few long distance releases too.

First time on this beat of the Lugg, trip was curtailed due to late arrival because of road closures in the local area and having to get back for baby grandson duties. So, just a quick recce of this interesting stretch of water, still carrying the milky grey colour. No fish but will definitely return early next season. Absolutely beautiful setting.
