Nothing caught today, I did see three rises so they are there.

Saw two salmon! Caught one chub and one small roach.

1 Chub, 1 Other

Did not fish, very little flow in stream and overgrown

Warm, mixed skies, pretty still, with a good amount of insect life around. A few mayfly stragglers, but mainly on to the BWOs/other small upwings now. Dries, nymphs and small streamers all caught, mostly 8" ish, a couple up to 12", all feisty fish in great condition. Photo a typical example - bright colours and distinct remaining parr makrs. An enchanting mallard family company and regular flypasts from the kingfisher capped a wonderful afternoon and evening.

Weather perfect, upwings on water and nothing rising to them. in fact it was the worst day I've had on the Lugg but nice to be out after Lockdown. will wait for welsh rivers to open up for the English as I feel there's more bang for your buck on the Wye and Usk.

3 Trout, 4 Grayling

Stream rising and coloured after overnight rain. 3 x trout 6-10 inches, size 16 Rusty Klinkhammer. I must have missed twice as many due to nervous / mistimed striking. I need to get used to fishing a small fly again.

Fished 10am-2pm. After initial rain shower, the sun quickly dried things off. Quite a muggy day actually. No fish see rising, so on with the duo and winkled 5 lovely spotted brownies out of runs that were accessible. LOTS of trees across the river recently fallen by the looks. No option but to climb out of the river and back in the other side....not an easy job! WUF: Any possibility of hauling these out? They are willows, so growing vertically and will get harder to shift therefore.

Not a good day, very little happening. This beat needs some serious work, barely half of it is fishable, I won’t be gong back in a hurry.

First time on this stretch, covered the whole length with nymphs, most fish taken on flies with orange in them. 20 fish to 1lb all returned, had as many on and off but that's to be expected especially with barbless hooks.

There are lots of large fallen trees for me these add to the features and took several fish from around them however the stretch is difficult to navigate for the less able. Overcast with sunny spell, low clear river. A thoroughly enjoyable day, didn't see another person all day and the wild brownies were great fun on my zero weight rod.

Fairly noisy because of the footpath on the opposite bank. Young adults and dogs splashing around in the river. Probably best to avoid this stretch at weekends during the day
