Water low and clear,very wet morning but I manage a grilse from biblins run.

I had a great day on the Wye at Lower Symonds Yat. The water was quite low and the weather was warm, over cast initially then clearing with some sun coming through. I focused on the pools from Slaughter Crib to Biblins Run in the morning and caught a coloured cock fish (80cm long, estimated at around 12 lb) just under the bridge in the Camp Run at around midday. It was caught on a cascade pattern.
These pools are great fly water and with the river levels quite low, the wading is pretty straight forward. In the afternoon I went to Martins Bar and Martins Pool, where there were a lot of fish showing. These pools are much more tricky with the fly.
This is a great beat in a magnificent setting. Being October and a Friday I only encountered 2 canoes, which both passed by respectfully.

Fly on intermediate and floating lines. no offers, saw only a few fish. River still a bit high. Access to water on this beat is very poor indeed when cannot go in at one place and wade a great length. Will not fish it again

10lb on flying c hen fish badly seal marked

Same report as yesterday, terrible canoes trafic....no one fish seen.

Spinning from first light on a beautiful morning. River was quiet, until I got as far as Roberts Crib where my spinner was hit hard by a salmon which proceeded to cartwheel immediately and threw the hooks! Apart from a small pike late morning that was it I’m afraid! Stunning beat!

Fishing was very hard, weather so hot, and around 300 canoes passed the beat!!!!Unbelivable ...for sure last time during w.e. on this stretch of water!
