Well a few hours to kill before mowing this afternoon , and doing a few garden jobs while the weather is decent , so opted for the Lugg , Fishing the WUF and a section of club water . . . .

Nice weather when I parked up at Lower Litton Farm , had a twenty minute char tpwith the lovely lady there , I think it's important to liaise with the owners , so they know who's about , and also keep the happy rapport going with fisherman etc etcetc . . . . Headed down to the river at about tenish , muggy , slight breeze , and a bit of drizzle , petering out too nearly nothing . . . .

The Lugg brownies showing no interest in two different mayfly patterns this morning , was already a couple about , even at ten !!!! Stragglers from yesterday's party perhaps ??. So changed flies to a Parachute Greenwells , immediate response , in one of the pools , lovely confubodwnt take , cracking !!!!!

Morning went like that till I left at one , covering about half of the Litton beat , also changed to a CDC and elk , hammering that too !!! Eight lovely brownies to hand this morning , sizes ranging from six to twelve inches , gorgeous colouration , and it always amazes me how different these Lugg fish are from one to another , totally different spot and pattern formation . . . . Lovely !

The river was racing through this morning although lovely and clear considering , with a slight tinge perhaps , will be just about right in three or four days I reckon , a fun three hous , back to the lovely little Lugg very soon , maybe slip in a quick trip to the Edw early next week , between shifts !!!!!!

The water at Abercanaid, was clear and low. On a bright day with a rather sparse hatch, nothing was rising, requiring a switch to sub surface. I am a Halfordian but needs must !
Two fish was a disappointment but the river looked great and it was an enjoyable day.

All fish were caught on nymphs and unfortunately small. River was a little above perfect and carrying some colour.

A lot different from when we visited in September river up and water coloured. Conditions challenging with maybe not the right tackle for the job hence the catch return. Still wonderful place will return.
