What can I say for our first visit to Lower Symonds Yat??...... stunning venue to blank at!! Not so much as a sniff!!
Spent most of the day just downstream of the Biblins bridge trotting meat as so much Autumnal debris made fishing the feeder almost impossible. This method worked for us on other stretches of the Wye, I guess today we just didn't land on fish despite several moves.

Lovely days fishing. River up a bit and coloured so good conditions for barbel and they obliged to the feeder and pellet tactics.some cracking chub too were caught on the same method a great autumn session .

10 Barbel, 12 Chub

Fished near the foot bridge. Caught a 10lb+ barbel near the rapids down stream of the foot bridge. Good shoal of chub upsteam of the rapids. Caught one barbel 7lb float fishing sitting on the ledge down stream of the foot bridge. You need a rope and spike to access the swims.

2 Barbel, 5 Chub

Difficult access to quite a lot of the water. Mostly contending with overhanging trees and finding a suitable point to get in the water because of steep banks. . Some lovely fly water but deep wading and slippery rocky bottom in places makes it a bit scary at times. The section below Biblins Bridge is easy to access and great fly water. I think it would be a difficult beat to fish properly given a bit more water.

A stunning place to fish, fantastic scenery.
