Nice day on the Lugg at lyepole but with a cool wind which was fairly brisk at times. I caught 5 grayling upto 15 inches and my brother had three to 12 inches plus a fair few small grayling (5 inches) all taken on nymphs. No sign of any trout which surprised me as 2 weeks ago i caught trout there in less favourable conditions.

2 small trout, 1 grayling, on weighted nymphs, all returned.

River quite high and still coloured but clearing.

First visit, enjoyed the day, Foundation's service in booking and advice etc excellent.

My first visit to this beat. It was a warm day with sunshine and showers. I caught 5 trout and 2 grayling one of which was 15 inches. The other fish were from 7 to 10 inches. Caught on march brown imitations (mainly nymphs but did manage one on a dry). This is a pretty beat which I will definitely return to.

River very low and clear. I started with wets and spiders my friend streamer. Then we tried nymphs. Despite 7 hours effort no trout were caught. There were no sign of life apart from a few grayling we caught.

Caught 8 fish 6 grayling and 2 trout, spooked a cormarant!
That was a first. All fish returned to fight another day.
A rare day for me in that the weather was reasonable no trees bent double or white horses on the water :-)it was my
first visit to this beat and I was quite impressed. Caught on ptn and hares ear nymphs largest fish was 38cm. All was going so well I decided to stop for a coffee at mcdonalds (good latte ) despite my car having 2 cup holders i held the cup between my knees to add suger you can guess the rest! A soggy ride home and no drink.

Two grayling caught, best at 15", one other lost, on grey/green flashback shrimp. Water very cold and clear, beautiful sunshine and heavy morning frost. Great way to end the grayling season

1 x Grayling (7"). Returned to water.
