Lovely stretch and plenty of good looking swims. Fished afternoon and evening in bright sunshine, pellets and corn. Not a twitch all day from three swims. Plenty of friendly canoeists, swimmers and paddle boarders, not a problem.
Seen a few comments about the narrow bridge - it’s a robust and solid structure across a ditch. Wish all footbridges were so well built. There is a bit of a slope down to the beat which is no issue if you take it steady and don’t take loads of just-in-case tackle and bait options you will never use.

Enjoyed a terrific day, although plagued by canoeists, paddleboarders and kayakers (going upstream !). However, fishing was tough at the Luggs mouth end, with just one lovely condition Chub of around 4lb. Persevered, rolling luncheon meat without any further bites. Moved up to the Hut from mid-afternoon and fished same tactics with instant reward. Action was hectic, with nine further Chub ranging from 1.5 to 3lbs all on rolling meat until dusk. Sadly, for all my efforts a Wye Barbel eluded me this time. Toward dusk two poachers arrived downstream and I requested them to leave, which they did in good grace. One spoke in a very broad Herefordshire accent, both were drinking what looked like cans of lager. They had walked up from the Luggs Mouth end and were spinning from the Croys. They left in the direction they came.

Alas a tough days fishing but better than the office.

Our first trip this season and last I expect as this covid 19 seems to be on the march again. We fished for Salmon most of the day but gave up as the trout began to show interest in feeding. No Salmon caught or seen. The trout for a short while were very active as is the usual.
