Very disappointed with today’s visit, not even a bite on mine or my boys rod. We had 0 Fish between the 6 of us, kids were
Disappointed,’used worm and fly but no joy at all.

Discovered this beat and was trying flyfishing for barbel for the 1st time. Lovely evening, able to wade through the whole length of the beat, but no beginner's luck!

2 Barbel

Really bright hot day with low water levels made it tough going

3 Chub

3 coarse fishing. Morning was quiet, stopped for a late lunch to give some time for a lot of the canoes to move thru. About 3pm we moved back out to Beat 4. Between 3-4 we had the 4 Barbel biggest 6 1/2lb smallest 4lb and then a chub 4 1/2 lb. It was a hot day and we spent plenty of time with the fish in the river allowing them to recover before release. The river definitely came alive as we approached sunset, had some more good bites but no more fish in the net. We love Whitney Court, a great stretch with so many options of where to fish . Can’t wait to come back.

4 Barbel, 1 Chub

New beat to us, will definitely return in more favourable conditions

4 Barbel

All fishes was rainbow trout's, was very similar, around 0.7 to 0.9 kg.

5 Trout

Walked from the Bridge upstream and caught 4 Brown trout on a mixture of Dry Mayflies and Nymphs.
My knee is not so good so turned back before the end of the beat and intended to fish the deeper pools again on my way back towards the Bridge, Unfortunately these areas were all now occupied by families swimming and using Lilo's in the river.
I came across 4 different groups, the last lot said they would 'not be long' and then I could start fishing!!! apparently they were a family staying in the cottage.
The river at this point was very cloudy from the bathers upstream stirring up the silt.
The beat map clearly shows the stretch of river in front of the cottage should not be fished when the cottage is occupied,
this would make sense if the people staying there actually used this allocated part of the river not part of the fishing beat that I had paid to use.
This a great stretch of the River Lugg but I will not be going back on a hot Saturday In August.
