About the River Lugg
The River Lugg rises on Pool Hill, near Llangunllo in Powys, and flows east through Presteigne and into Herefordshire. It passes Aymestrey, Mortimer’s Cross and Leominster, meets its main tributary, the River Arrow, south of Leominster, and joins the Wye at Mordiford, below Hereford, about 63 miles from its source. The whole river is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
The Lugg has good populations of wild brown trout and grayling. Fish passes built at the weirs since 2003 have improved the numbers of migratory fish in the river. The upper river is a tree lined stream with good mayfly hatches, at its best from mid April to early July and again in September.
The fishing is held by clubs and a ticket scheme. The Wye and Usk Foundation’s Fishing Passport has beats on the upper river, Hereford and District Angling Association has water on the Lugg, and several small members clubs hold stretches of their own.
Check the details for the stretch you plan to fish.
