Mooched off to the Lugg best this morning , early bells ,fishing a neighbouring club water before the WUF section , breezy this morning and overcast reading twelve degrees in my truck ,initially opting for tiny tungsten nymphs. . . . .

River has a reasonable flow but so clear and wading had to be at a snail's pace this morning, seriously hard fishing, that and the crazy growth thats over much of the decent pools now , a real mess to be honest !!!! And a lot if pools totally altered and reshaped, some for the better !

On to the fishing , had five on the club beat prior to starting at the bottom of the wild stream permit beat , and a fun morning already, three on nymphs , two.on parachute iron blue, lovely takes too !!!the motion continued on the upper WUF beat ,although the hard bit was finding a pool you could get the dry out onto with decent presentation!!!! It's a bit like the Arrow ,Monkland beat here at the mo !! Still ,i persevered up stream , and with carefull wading was rewarded with eight beauties this morning , raging in size from.five to eleven inches , always got a good fight in them the Lugg brownies , great fun !!!

With the wild growth, it sort of spoilt the morning too be fair , this needs a good haircut, big time , only did half the beat , then cut out nearly opposite Litton Farmhouse , and headed straight up the fields back to my truck, and a quick drink and snack before heading home, a fun six hours on the Lugg ,cracking stuff !!! A wild Llyn I think next week, with these rivers so low , happy days !!!

I trout (10") on a CDC emerger pattern (barbless size 18 hook). I saw surprisingly few fish although this could be due to my wading clumsiness! Intermittent showers and sunshine with a little breeze. The highlight of the day was seeing a pair of otters!

Once again not even a bite,(no one we spoke to had any) very poorly stocked this year once again

Return trip to this lovely challenging beat for me the novice.
Challenging due to gusty downstream wind and tourists lobbing stones in the salmon pool. Tenacity finally rewarded with a spider on a dropper in the same pool an hour later.

Fished yesterday with no luck and today was the same. Saw people catching perch and saw two trout caught but nothing for me. Everyone I saw was fishing with worms, bottom and a couple float fishing. Went through a multitude of flies again today with not even a rise. Tried a couple of spinners as well. Only saw one fish rise in 6 hours. Does make me wonder when it was last stocked, but it's so beautiful up here I was happy being here just to be outside. Maybe I will have better luck next time I visit.
