About Lyepole
Lyepole is a mile of double bank on the River Lugg, a few miles upstream of Aymestrey. The river runs through a quiet, steep sided valley and keeps a very private feel, which suits one or two anglers after trout and grayling. On a small to medium river with a gravel and silt bed, wading, when it is permitted, is relatively easy. A private holiday cottage next to the beat keeps the right to fish one rod and to use the river, particularly in summer, and the fishing may then be limited to certain areas.
No wading is permitted from 1 November to 2 March, a conservation measure to protect the spawning salmon that have been found in this section in increasing numbers. In that period the only workable grayling method is float fishing or trotting with maggots or other bait from the bank. There may be dairy cows with a bull in one of the fields, so take care around livestock, especially with dogs.
It is fly only between 3 March and 31 October, all species are catch and release, and dogs are allowed if kept under control. The trout day ticket is listed at £20 to £30 and the winter grayling day ticket at £19 to £20, with up to two tickets a day. It is booked through the Fishing Passport.
