Also a bright day with some cloud; generally some wind, with a few gusts. River very low again this early in the summer. Fish seen rising on the far side/bank. Cast a variety of klinks, para's, other dry flies in smaller sized to receive quick bites.

A couple of nice specimens and some very pretty trout, but nothing too sizeable. All fish safely returned to the river as usual.

4 Trout, 6 Grayling

Back to an old favourite this morning !! Having been camping a couple of days , Mrs A was catching up with some friends in Shrewsbury so I bimbled off to Litton once all the chores were done ....

Should have really left if another couple of hours to be fair ... lots of mayfly and Coch y Bonddu beetles in the meadow bordering the Lugg from about eleven ish ...in fact it was a plethora of upwings .. three missed fish on a big mohican mayfly so from eleven I did down size to a fourteen para Adams .... my six foot , two weight isn't a happy bunny casting big bumbling flies anyway !!!

I also fished club water this morning equally successful and fish savagely hitting my Parachute Pheasant tail initially ..... Great fun ...

A good stamp of fish this morning ..some lugg beauties and the risers I cast too I had !!! Good fish .. three off them were thirteen inches plus ... and lovely colours too , as always.... had a slow bimble back up to the farm after doing just over half the beat ... some negotiating of fallen trees needed .. but careful casting and you get a response !! Shallow and cold I'd describe the lugg at the mo !! Although in fairness still holding a bit of water .. and the cascob brook on the drive down is running so still collecting water from other days rain .....

A fun few hours , still not fully switched on to the big mays yet ..... and only picking off the easy obvious sitters !!! Still , some great sport this morning ... off home and I do believe some log splitting is waiting for me !! Joyous ..... a nice start to the weekend .....
