Zero fish taken, not even a bite between us. Tried several spots using fly and spinner. Disappointing day.

We caught 3 trouts with flashy nymph. The water was dark because of the rain of the day before.

No fish. The pools at the top of the beat on the left bank are overgrown and, whilst mostly easy and pleasant to fish by wading, need to be accessed by a steep slide through stinging nettles and thistles.

I caught 3 rainbow trout on the worm ledgering all fish about a pound in weight.

My son caught 2 trout about a pound in weight ledgering.

Following rain on previous day/night Lugg was coloured with visibility of about 1 foot or so but it fined as the day passed. Started to fish at 12am at lowest weir, gentle SW breeze, intermittent sinshine. Spotted, and caught, first trout on Grey Wulf. Caught and rose fish steadily until 5.30pm when river went quiet despite fall of spent mayfly and vast numbers of olives. Should have stayed for evening rise but we were satisfied with catch and were hungry! Total 7 trout to 14 inches, 1 grayling of 12 inches all on Grey Wulf.
Stayed at Horse and Jockey, Knighton good room and food, not ideal if complete peace and quiet is required as busy town pub. Wye & Usk booking, info' and directions all spot on. Superb. Thank you.

2 rods fished monday 4th june. No fish caught.

Three brown trout caught and returned - two below the bridge and one above. All fish weighed 4-5 ounces and in excellent condition. One caught on weighted GRHE and the other two on dry fly Daddy Long Legs imitation. Good hatch of spinners as the sun came out between 1 and 2pm.
Directions and actual access to river very good. It is obvious that a knowledgeable fisherperson had indicated where the access points opposite the cottage should be installed as these lined up nicely with the pools. Shame that the upper section (above bridge) was not fenced on the cottage side as a herd of cows were in the river.
Booking service worked very well - thank you.

Excellent day where we caught 13 WBT and missed at least as many. While others have been unhappy concerning the wooded stretch of the river, it was underneath these trees that we caught most of the fish. Fish to 1lb 4oz and several around the 1lb mark. Only took the largest fish; the rest were released. Most caught on gold head PTN fishing New Zealand style under the trees.

Very tranquil location. Last time I was up here (last year) I saw an otter. None sighted this time, and nothing much to see anywhere save a steady confident solitary rise between and under protective overhang. A couple or more flies and nearly all patience were lost to foliage but persistence paid off when the rise went for and took a size 14 klinkhammer. A plump maybe 1.5lb trout gave tremendous sport for 10 minutes, was landed and duly returned (catch and release only here). Apart from missing one other take that was all the sport I had - but that one fish made it all worth while!
