Feedback & Reports

Very cold start to the morning. Approximately 20-25 grayling taken from the lower weir where it enters into the large pool largest around a lb and half. Managed to pick a couple more out further up the beat but water was very low and slow. All fish were caught czech nymphing

First time on the Lugg, hmm.. ? Low and slow, and the pools were full of debris. Access in the wooded areas is disappointing even though you have prior warning. A frustrating debut drew a blank and left us wondering regarding previous catch reports and what lay in store at Lypole on Sunday.
Oh, AB is demanding his tiny 3 incher be counted in the catch, I said that wouldn't really be right, I take it he was talking about the tiny grayling? The water was quite cold though !

Very challenging day. Low clear water. Totally calm weather, no wind and mostly sunny. Had a few timid bites from small fish in the riffles.

Low, clear water. Sunny day, with a cool, gusty, northerly breeze. Fishing was slow, but bites came in the shade, riffles and ripples created by the breeze.

The river was very low and gin clear, and the strong breeze did not help the fishing. Nothing showing, but signs of spooked fish as we moved along the beat. The out of season trout and the grayling all fell to small weighted nymphs, but there is no sign of the grayling shoaling up yet as the weather continues to be mild.
I have fished this beat for a few years, but rarely have I seen the upstream section so difficult to access.

After a wash off the wye due to flood water, I fished here in the afternoon, only one grayling caught the size of my finger, but still a pleasant afternoon.

River was low and clear running on a warm and slightly overcast evening. A very short session in the end, late in the day but rewarded with a 12'' Grayling in lovely condition, took a barbless Klinkhammer on a slow drift in one of the smaller pools, lots of fish rising, and missed a few other takes. Access is a little difficult in places. Quiet and peaceful beat with a friendly resident Kingfisher, if only the Lower Lugg was this clean.

River low and clear. Downstream wind, as always. Fish caught mostly small. Best trout 11 inches. Best grayling 10 inches. Dry fly and nymph.

River really low and clear. No real hatch and the only fish rising were fingerings. None of the fish caught were greater than 6/7", but still an enjoyable day.
Thanks to all at W & U, and the fishery owner.
