2 Grayling, trotting maggots
Water at good height, 0.67 on Byton gauge

2 Grayling

A few hours. Tricky to find slow enough water from the banks as river pushing through but managed to find all fish in part of one pool. Grayling 8-10 inches

1 Trout, 3 Grayling

An enjoyable session . Over cast and close to freezing point. River looked at ideal levels and a tinge of colour.
Trotted maggot. Bites were had in almost every swim. I had company for most of the day in the form of a friendly, hungry robin.
All small fish- largest was a Grayling of about 8 oz.

Water still pushing through, so not that many swims fishable but managed to hook 4 grayling and get 2 to the net on trotted maggot. 6-12”

.51on the Byton gauge, 3 degrees on arrival with 3inches of lying snow. Wonderful days fishing on an idilic stretch of river

My first visit and tried above the bridge and a little bit below the cottage. Recent spate has flattened a lot of undergrowth making access a little easier. Still a lot of barbed wire to negotiate. Summer would be a challenge and more of a wild stream beat. Fish caught on long trotting and euro nymph where I could without wading. Please can we have more of these beats on the Lugg? Must be miles of water available above and below Leominster. Thanks for a great day.

A peaceful day trotting red maggots on a split cane rod. Running fast in places but clear. Recent floods have changed the river landscape, trees gone, banks undercut, and pebble shores moved. A lot of bankside vegetation had been flattened by the spates which made access easier. Fish caught all over the best. Virtually no wind which meant very few leaves. A perfect day, thanks WUF

River settled down since recent floods but still running fast. 6 Grayling caught during 4 hours fishing all on the lower beat. All fish caught tight line nymphing. 2 lovely sized fish. KM
