Feedback & Reports

River low and clear, wading easy as it always is on the Lugg. Access back to the car from the top of the beat not clear, ended up retracing steps along river to the bottom of the beat. A fine day with a consistent hatch of yellow mayfly, true mayfly and olives all day. Despite all the fly life, only the occasional fish rising to the surface and all fish caught on upstream nymph. Most success with a GRHE with a bit of life imparted to the movement of it. A great day out and I will be back to fish the evening rise at some point.

A warm sunny day which became cloudier as the day went on. The river was relatively low and clear with masses of gnats above the water and small hatches of olives in the late morning and early afternoon. 14 trout caught mostly 6 inches and below. 9 trout caught nymping with goldbead nymphs, 1 on a tiny nymph fished under a Klinkhammer and 4 on a CDC caddis dry fly.

The day was very sunny. Nice beat.

Only fished for a short while, so perhaps not surprising that we didn't connect with anything. The river was still falling and clearing after heavy rain, but conditions looked reasonably favourable and certainly worth a return trip. Very much a small stream / short rod kind of beat.

No catch water very clear, no fish seen on surface or anywhere else, but relaxing day.

Cold - drizzle rain, no fish caught.

Unfortunately because of the heavy snow I was unable to reach the beat. In any event it would have been a 'wash-off'.
