BAA section of Lugg

[GotnyMagots]

Has anyone flyfished the BAA section of the Lugg? There is a post in the 'General' section by someone blanking somewhere on the Lugg. I coarse-fished it once last year without success - but I did see an otter, and it seems a really nice quiet little river.

Anyone had any experiences of it?

HI I fish the lugg between Presteigne and Coombe im not sure where the BAA section is but see my post on "BLANKED" that you mention

This is Dinmore to Moreton, between Bromyard and Hereford.

Hello! It was me that blanked! ;D
I think its a stunning river but some of the banks are a bit high and hard to fish in places. I see a lot of wildlife there so blanking is no great heart ache.

I have lots of experience with this river as i have lived by it for about 6 years. Chub get massive, barbel get even bigger, dace used to be plentiful (now less), trout are about 1-2lb, grayling about the same, perch to 1lb and roach about the same. There is also word of the odd salmon parr and there is the odd pike.

BTW I fish a long strech of the Lugg close to Hereford town.

Grayling begorrah!

Excellent - I'll have a go.

I had my grayling on stick float fished maggot. Im still yet to catch one on the fly.

[GotnyMagots]

I caught grayling for the first time this spring, on the Dee at Llangollen, mostly on dry fly.

I'll give it a go on float and fly on the Lugg. If I can stop myself going after the barbel on the Teme that is

Hi Gotnymagots - a word of caution - I think Im right in thinking that the BAA water was where an angler drowned earlier this year
Take care

Your right Lugg . It was some old guy, but i think he had a heart attack or something and fell in.

[GotnyMagots]

well, i fell over when wading the Dee about 3 weeks ago - nothing more than bending a knee in the wrong direction and getting a wet shirt. But I'm always conscious that you can be in danger when fishing.

So how do you want to die? 'Shot by a jealous husband at the age of 75' seems a good alternative.

[Eddie]

I don't wade in the Lugg deaper than my knees. In places its VERY powerful. I have watched kids paddling in there and go flying over and down river. They just have to wait until its gets shallow again. Very dangerous i think.

[GotnyMagots]

OK maybe this could be a new sport - trying to get a drowning kid in your landing net as they get swept past. Double points if they are unconscious - this isn't in bad taste is it ?

[Eddie]

I think they would fight harder then trout ;D Mite give it a go some time.
