About Lugg Litton
Lugg Litton is a 1¼ mile section of the upper Lugg that is usually at its best from mid April to early July and then again in September. The Passport describes a typical tree lined tributary with healthy populations of trout and good mayfly hatches. It is all double bank except for the top three fields, about 600 yards, which are right bank only looking downstream.
Much of the riverbank is now fenced with barbed wire, which makes getting to the river difficult. Once there, wading is relatively easy over the gravel and silt bed. The Passport suggests a rod of six and a half to seven and a half feet rated 2 to 4 weight.
It is fly fishing only, one trout may be taken per rod, and dogs are not allowed. It is a Wild Stream beat: it is booked through the Fishing Passport, or fished on a Wild Stream Season Permit.
