A blank day again, but not a disappointing day. Fished from the Towy Bridge Inn downstream. Really good fishable water so will be back again. Excellent value for money.
Thanks Llandovery AA and Wye and Usk.

3 x trout 6-8 inches, Rusty Klinkhammer. At the end of an exceptionally warm autumn day, I spent just an hour before dark doing the bottom 100 yards. I guess that will be the last time this year. Farmer also using the last of the light to plough up the field on the right bank.

Dour day on the reservoir Not many fish showing and only a couple actually moved to the fly.

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.
