Feedback & Reports

Water level very low, not really worth fishing but casting practice was required post Christmas and the weather was so nice. One good fish hooked on the dry fly in the deepest pool, 8 inch (returned), but most fish were keeping out of the sun. Best part of the day was chatting to a fellow angler and watching the classic cars go by!
Note for WUF, great job on the ‘pruning’, casting much easier now but half a days rubbish clearing would be appreciated!

Two salmon appx 7lb each; well mended kelts in superb condition. Caught on Flying C. Accompanied by Oliver Burch.

Lovely weather and a great location but sadly another blank. Only saw a few rises and had a couple of bites but failed to connect. Maybe it will be better later in the year?

No fish caught, far to sunny & still, but reservoir was stunning in the spring sun, hope to return soon

No fish caught. Saw only one rising fish all day. Access to banks on western end of beat not very easy - was with 10 year old son and not wearing waders. Not a problem, but would have been good to know. Himalayan balsam abundant in places - is there a control strategy on the Lugg?

On a lovely, warm spring day hoping to tempt some trout to the surface. Hard going with no hatch to mention and nothing rising at all. Very little moving and trout still feel a month or so off, but I can't fault an early season "practice" day in the beautiful Crai valley.

A wonderful morning fishing! Birds singing in the warm spring air and a very large, well mended kelt about 11am. Thanks to Don and Adam for the fishing chat.

Very warm spring day, two lovely Brownies in excess of 1lb (Approx 12inches) caught on Olive nymphs and returned.
Lovely new beat with good access and wading, very enjoyable, Thank you.

What a lovely day (for those who dont mind unseasonal weather)! Had a kelt around lunch time from the bottom of the beat and a pike about 8 or 9lb from the wood crib, after casting to a fresh looking fish showing. It did have me fooled for a couple of minutes. Enjoyed this beat again, nice to talk with Don and John the other angler on the beat. Let pray for rain!

Two small brown trout and two os grayling on gold head nymph. The morning rise was short lived.
