Beautiful stretch of water, I'm afraid I didn't really do it justice!

Water level was lower than last time with much better clarity. Fished from 5 - 7:30pm. 2 Grayling to nymph duo. Not much fly life and only one fish seen rising.

2 Grayling

A sad day on the river. No fish today. Tried French nymphing, regular two fly float & nymph, and upstream dry fly on a mixture of sedges & klinks. Nothing rising, saw no fish all day. Heading back tomorrow & hoping for better luck.

Great beat, eight trouts all with dry flies. Biggest 2lbs. Good activity from 11 to 15. Didn’t like the access from the House, too much tricky for a tourist. I think would be better to enter the beat from the upstream limit.

lifeless on the surface all the time i was there , all trout fell for aqua baetis size 18 with gold 2mm bead. not fished here for a few years and really enjoyed it. sadly over winter storms and risen water levels have left in one section two thirds up the beat near on unfishable. all in all the lugg is a little beauty. size all between 5-12 inches with the majority around 9. all released safely .

The water was clearer than last week and a little lower. Lots of tiny fish splashing in the margins. I started with a size 20 midge that was promptly taken by a 9" trout. Two more around 7" came to the midge and a cdc olive, a ptn tempted one the length of my middle finger.
I removed about 15m of thick mono that wrapped round my legs just down from the sewage treatment plant that wasn't here last week. Himalayan balsam also starting to show and I removed a few seedlings from one small stretch of gravel.

Nice river with very easy access. To wade through the water is also easier but there are a few fallen trees in the middle of the river. The water was clear and a good flow. I was nymphing with Spanish bullet nymphs and some french micro nymphs. No activity on the surface but a lot of fish at the fast water and at the end of the pockets. I took 8 brownies between 6 and 8 inches, Besides a few smaller ones. All returned safely.
