Did not fish heavy rain on Saturday into Sunday river very high and coloured

The Lugg luckily missed most of the rain that hit the Wye, and there was only a few cm increase in levels.
Two of us fished from 10.30am to 4.30pm, catching approximately 8 grayling, 4 trout and numerous very small grayling and minnows. Grayling were mostly 8-9" with one at 12". Trout were 8", 2x10" and 14". Also lost another 14" trout at the net. Most caught on nymphs with a few on dries.

4 Trout, 8 Grayling

Caught on pellets.A lot of overnight rain. Overcast with sunny spells. Average weight of barbel 6 1/2lb.

5 Barbel, 1 Chub

Late afternoon evening session arrived at 3-30 and fished until 8 hoping to pick up a barbel but unfortunately another chub fest at Holme lacy 17 chub between 3 and 4lb and one worth weighing at 5lb 9oz groundbait feeder with hemp and pellets and meat on the hook accounted for all fish.The path could still do with some maintenance brambles everywhere.

17 Chub

Some swims very slow but we found a couple of good ones. All fish caught on feeder and boilie Very mild, river low but slowly rising Conditions seemed ideal apart from a couple of lengthy showers.

Heavy rain and strong winds so only fished for a couple of hours. Four fish, two rainbows and two wild browns, all caught on an olive lure on a fast glass.

Did notice quite a few other anglers fishing with spinners and bait in areas that were supposed to be fly only which was dissappointing to see.
