nice day on the lugg with air pressure perfect and water up slightly . most grayling came from the oxygenated water french nymphing with single cinnamon baetis size 18 jig with 2,5mm tungsten bead. size wise varied with several 8-12 inch fish , a handful around the fourteen inch mark one at sixteen and one bruiser 18-19 inches which was the first of the day second cast. another couple of inches on the gauge would of been perfect but can,t grumble with a decent catch return. all trout healthy and hard fighting. i dropped back below the bridge at 4pm to the pool in front of the holiday cottage and was hoping for a steady rise of fish to the midges swarming but sadly other than four to size 22 midge pattern they never really switched on. all in all a good day had.

Excellent days fishing. All fish caught on hair rigged pellet and hair rigged luncheon meat.
The water level started rising around midday, which slowed the bites down a bit, but still had bites consistently throughout the day.

Caught 1 barbel of 7lb 7oz. mid morning. Halibut pellet and feeder. There was a lot of pike activity in the swim most of the day. Two chub came late on as the light was fading. The largest about 3 1/2 lb. Wonderful wildlife. Kingfishers, Goosander, Bats, Salmon leaping. Even a hornet in mid October. Enjoyed it.

Good day - fish cooperated, We used two methods - with the baskets and pebble both - they both worked well.We used pellets and boili.In the afternoon the water level began to rise and the river was carrying a lot of natural sediment which made it a little difficult to fish.

Arrived to see the river rising fast. Pitty because I saw a few fish moving in 20min of fishing I managed. Grand chat with the ghillie, Glyn. Thank you.

River high and coloured, no fish caught but lovely day.
