1 Grayling

Dry fly and nymphing methods used in middle section of beat. No fish taken nor seen. Lovely stretch of water, very peaceful.

A very pleasant day on the Lugg, although I lost count of the number grayling caught.

The river was low and very clear, subsequently the fish had spread out more. This time I had to do a lot more walking to keep catching, but it was a very nice mild day and it was great to be out.

The largest grayling weighed in at 1lb 12oz, and another at 1lb 10oz that we've caught twice before (it has an obvious injury).

As for the trout they were back to around the 8-10oz mark, no idea where the larger specimens have got to.

5 Trout, 30 Grayling

the day started badly 3" tip of a 6ft rod broken off no idea how as i could not find it casting was a bit difficult but needs must , the river is a really nice depth but very clear , overhanging trees , bramble banks and the obligatory barbed wire are a fly fishers nightmare but i think on the right day this beat would be fantastic , but i never saw a fish or even had a tug , was using gold bead pheasant tails and grhe , but will be going back later in he year as it just looks to good not to have any fish there,

River low and clear and water temperature low. Managed both chub on meat from the pool below the croy on the left bank.

The idea was to try trotting and I did explore most of the beat, but I think the fly rod might have been better today.

Zero caught, very low and very, very clear. Fished hard on various methods. No fish seen

Fished with another member rod today .A nice height at 10” and clear. The river appeared completely dead with not one offer for either of us trying various nymph and sink combinations. A worrying trend with recent reports from flyfishers on other beats having similarly lean returns. Hopefully fishing will pick up when we have an increase in temperatures but it didn’t seem particularly cold today.

10” on the gauge. 9 degrees + overcast. Good clarity. Nice flow.
Goldheads, spiders and other bugs couldn’t tempt a single take in over 3 hours.
