Two 6" trout and 1 Grayling below the bridge during the morning, one 12" trout and more grayling upstream during the afternoon. A few mayfly appearing but the fish were not switching on to them, one fish caught on a dry fly all the others to nymphs. Finished fishing a 15:00 so probably missed some late afternoon / evening hatches. (there were lots of hatches during the day but hardly any rising fish. I'm finding it impossible to avoid catching grayling on all Lugg beats this year, changing fly, technique and location doesn't seem to make a difference. I don't remember a previous year when, at this point in the season, they were so prolific. I also caught a couple of what i think were Salmon Parr.

slow few hours with the water levels very low. fished from 12pm -3pm with all trout coming to hand between 1--2pm. few mayflies, spinners(olive) , and swarms of midges. not many rises so fished cinnamon baetis at the heads of pools. size, all between 7-9 inches.

I think I expected it to be a tough day today and I wasn't disappointed. Fishing on a Saturday and a holiday weekend meant one thing canoes, lots of canoes.. Luckily I got there early so had all morning canoe free but we had a large hatch between 1.30 and 3 making fishing pretty useless, mind you a needed a rest by then anyway. As for the fishing, water is low now, need a good flush through. I had a good tug and a swirl at the bottom of beat 3 first thing. There was a fish showing on beat 6, possibly a resident. I threw everything at to no avail. There are fish there, not many but they are there., catching them is another thing.... Ah well, I'm there again next week.... so even less water and more canoes no doubt….

No fish but a lovely day spent in beautiful surroundings. Thanks to Wye and Usk for getting the rights to fish such a beautiful pool, I'll be back.

First time here. As to be expected, getting a little overgrown in places but very beautiful. River low but with a tinge of colour. Big hatches of Olives of various sorts and the off mayfly but not huge numbers. Stuck with dry fly all day. Fish to 12 inches on Adams para, olive emergers and mayfly patterns.

A bright and warm day with low water conditions. 1 small trout taken from be tween the weeds. Probably the only one that didn't see me coming!!

Water low and very little sign of sign at the surface. Still a pleasant day out.
