After rain the day before, the water dropped back quickly to what looked like summer level, though with some colour in it. Plenty of flies around too. Lovely day, but no bonanza of fish - just enough to keep interested. All caught on nymphs. I tried offering a dry fly to some of the rather few rises and had several 'expressions of interest' but no real take. Probably offering the wrong fly - I was using a daddy long legs.

River level at 1'3" on the webcam at Trostrey: perhaps a little bit high for easy wading on this beat. None the less, a very enjoyable couple of hours dry fly fishing in the evening. 1 X trout of 14", taken on a size 14 Tups Indispensable. Several other strikes missed, mainly at the top end of the beat. Thanks to WUF Booking Office.

Lovely but unsuccessful afternoon on the Lugg.

River came up slightly the previous afternoon / evening and although was dropping slowly remained slightly coloured. Some fly life - mainly a trickle of yellow may duns, medium olives and even the odd mayfly. Rising fish hard to find and very sporadic. Managed two modest fish on emerger pattern late in the day.

no luck!

Very pleasant day if a bit too windy for me. Nothing rising so default position is a couple of Endrick spiders. All fish caught in one area just below the pylons where the river bends and narrows before the island. Managed to achieve a first by catching a shad. Beware the route to the enclosure from the gate as you need to keep to the river edge bank. I parked and stayed by the gate and as a result walked a bit more and started at the upstream limit. Wading good and not slippery.

2 decent brown trout 14”, just under 1lb each. Caught in the afternoon between showers on a bibio over flooded grass a metre off waters edge, at the far end furthest from dam. Water level very high and quite breezy.
