1 Grayling pushing the 1lb mark. From speaking to two other anglers on the beat, the grayling seemed to be very spread out, possibly getting ready to spawn...

An enjoyable day on a lovely beat. I fished opposite the weir gardens, 3 chub caught all on legered bread flake.

Due to unforeseen circumstances did not fish!

River in tip top condition; beautiful day but overnight frost meant fishing was hard. One nice grayling on french nymphing tactics. Big thankyou to Gareth for the tuition and the encouragement. Will be back, thank you WUF.

3 barbel and 2 chub on maggot despite bright and sunny conditions and clear water.

4 Grayling, 1 wbt and 1 rainbow. Grayling 1lb 4oz to 2lb exactly. A very enjoyable day, but the fishing was hard. We kicked off with a 2lb Grayling after 20 minutes at 7 o clock in the morning and thought it was going to be a bumper day. Unfortunately, maybe due to very clear water and intense sunlght, we only managed 5 more fish all day. 3 more Grayling between 1lb 4oz and 1lb 10oz and two very small trout, a rainbow and a brownie. We walked the whole section, wading into every good looking stretch, but the fiush seemed very spread out and every fish we saw was by itself. Great scenery and weather, proper fishing.

Unfortunately a blank day. Not sure why as I bugged my way through the whole beat picking out likely spots for the "ladies". As for reasons for my lack of success, maybe it was too bright, maybe the river was too clear, it was gin clear, maybe the Grayling were concentrating on other things or just not there. Probably my lack of experience! Did see two rises and some fly life as the day warmed up
Nevertheless a wonderful spring day on the Lugg with the snow drops at their peak and the birds in full song.

Weather conditions were bright and partly overcast and the river was pushing through.
Fished for the Chub with liquidised bread and flake and managed to land 3 with a further 3 lost. Fished the slack water on a roving basis.

River was pushing through pretty quick. We had 4 chub and a grayling. Beautiful part of the river.

Arrived at 2pm - conditions look good but nothing at all.
