Could not locate any fish on the river maybe it was just me but i found it difficult so its a big 0 from me.

Weather cloudy to sunny intervals. Caught 13 grayling up to three quarters of a pound and three small WBT. Unfortunately, the day was somewhat spoilt by a mother, her two daughters and loose dog who thought they had the right to use the Lugg as a swimming pool (thanks TV country shows). Roll on colder weather when the grayling will be forthcoming and wild swimmers forced indoors.

8 chub from 6oz to just under 4lb. A lovely stretch of river.

Only fished in morning but was disappointed not to see a fish in this usually productive stretch. It is still a lovely stream and we all have our 'off days'.

Wonderfull to be back on the river after twelve months,
no rivers in Jersey. 3 barbel caught and one lost straightening the hook, for us a good start on the river.

Foggy start leading to a bright sunny day. 12 Barbel and a smattering of Chub mostly caught top end to middle of fishery on pellet and groudbait tactics. A little disappointing end result, perhaps we should not have such high expectations of both the River and our own angling skills. Thanks to WUF for giving us the opportunity anyway still a wonderfull place to spend a day with friends.

Around a dozen brownies all in the 9 inch range, all taken on olive cdc emerger bar 2 which were taken on nymph early on. Water conditions were perfect crystal clear. Hooked upto and lost several more, one of which was pushing well over a pound.

One brown trout, weighed around 1.5lbs caught on Daddy Long Legs. Hard going in bright sunshine but nice beat. Good service.

A last minute booking by phone, glad I did! Arrived 5:30 and had a barbel on the bank within 20 minutes (8lb). Two more barbel towards dusk (2.5lb and 7lb). 2oz Feeder (3mm halibut pellets and groundbait with a glug of halibut attractant) with twin 14mm halibut pellet on a hair, long hooklink. Quite a bit of weed but river now quite low (according to Don).
Thanks to Don for his advice on where to fish, and for helping cart some gear along the bank for me! Superb evening - back soon!

1 x Grayling on a Grey Wulff. No fish taken.
