Feedback & Reports

River flooded, gave up after 2 hours and went to the pub.

Storm Barra still much in evidence with very strong winds that made fishing almost impossible. We managed a couple of hours fishing in the strong winds and had one chub of 4.8.

No fish caught
River temperatures to low for Barbel

Slow day but several grayling up to a 1lb caught.

6 Trout, 3 Grayling

First time on the Lugg, on a cool (6C) and overcast day, trotting red maggots on the centrepin. Only had one fish, a Grayling of around 8in, none the less a very welcome fish as my first ever Grayling having never targeted the species before. This was a short session tagged on to a visit to the amazing and highly recommended Riverside Inn with my partner to celebrate her Birthday weekend.

1 Grayling

1 tiny trout caught and 1 decent grayling (slightly under 1lb) caught, both returned. Trout caught on a three fly euro nymphing rig whilst high sticking, grayling caught on an indicator two fly set up, again high sticking, both came to the same 3mm duracell cdc fly. River slightly up with some good deep riffles that looked ideal for grayling, should have done better. Fished the entire length of beat.

1 Trout, 1 Grayling

Overcast and drizzle day. River not high. Three chub between 3 and 4lbs, 1 barbel just after sunset at 9lbs, and 1 other lost. Fish caught on pellet and meat. Quite a trek up and over the hill to venture downstream of the woods! Had a visit from a cheeky otter.
