Lot of water on the beat compared to my past visit. Fished the morning in the weir section but with no joy. Mid day moved up to a likelier series of bends and managed 6 grayling and 1 out of season brown trout. Largest of the grayling was pushing 2 lb. All fish were caught on ceramic nymphs and fished either czech or French. For a bit more regarding info with pics please see my blog at www.thetreetrout.co.uk

Using feeder with pellet managed one chub around 1lbs would of liked to have had a bit more water. Lots of rowing vessels up until midday.

A few hours to spare so was hoping for a few grayling but sadly trout were far more active the time I was there. Water moving well and clear but a little to turbulent and deep to get mid river where I feel they were holding in some lovely foam lanes. But still a nice afternoon out.

1 x grayling 6 inches. This turned out to be a miscalculation on my part. I booked the previous evening with the Eyton gauge showing 1ft 3ins, which I regard as about the upper limit for the Lugg. However, I didn't check again in the morning and when I arrived I found the river now up to 1ft 6 inches and strongly coloured - a sort of grey-brown instead of the usual grey-green and less than 6 inches visibility. I guess overnight rain in Radnorshire must have been to blame. Not a wash-off exactly and I tried some of the easier places for about 3 hours, but did no good except for one baby grayling. I gave it up at lunchtime. I am sure it will go back to fishing as well as usual once the colour clears up in a day or two.

Pink and weighted pink fished deep under indicator. Mostly small but best 14 inches. Large number of missed takes and besides 6 caught and released at least another 6 were released early. Hooked something about 5lb on a pink shrimp in top of Armies pool which was silver and went towards the sea at great speed. My 3 lb tip did not last long. I wonder what it was, large trout or a late run grilse???
