R24 - The Lugg, Middlemoor Beat
Vouchers - Adults 4/ Under 17s 2
Wading difficulty: 1
Forming the border between England and Wales this beat offers approximately 0.6 miles of mixed single and double bank, enough to give an angler a good 4-5 hours of wonderful small stream fishing. It comprises a lovely variety of water with a mix of deep pools, fast runs and steady glides. It is mostly easy wading over gravel but beware of the deeper holes. Wild brown trout are the main quarry although this part of the Lugg also holds grayling.
This is a 2 person beat at most so if someone is already parked there please find another beat.
There is quality B&B accommodation nearby at Middlemoor Barn (tel. 01544 267815).
