Hen fish about 12 pounds caught on fly

Water a bit too high and dark, butfished with optimism.....no luck.

River looked good, a bit coloured and dropping. Found about five coloured fish jumping in Martins pool but didn't have any offers. Great day on a lovely beat though.

Lots of Salmon showing in the early morning but takes apart from 1 pike . We must have seen at least 15/20 fish in the lower pools. Thanks to Adam for his help and also to the staff at Ye Hostelrie Goodrich especially Andy. I would recommend staying here anytime you are in the area.

The day was overcast and the forecast was for rain, so thankfully canoeists seemed to be discouraged, although sadly not eradicated. We were fishing with fly only and we covered all the fly water above and below the bridge, on the Symonds Yat West side of bridge, before heading down to the sand/gravel bar which looks as if it may have been washed away during the winter. We ended up fishing the island and then one more run down to the bridge. We saw one fish crash out of the water near Martin's Bar, impossible to reach with a fly. The water level was surprisingly low and we were told the farmers were given permission to abstract water from the river in the last few days. A very pleasant day with no fish caught.

Nothing caught. Far too many very inconsiderate canoeists which made the day extremely frustrating. Had one idiot fall out of his canoe and when he saw it floating off with his girlfriend aboard he decided instead of hopping aboard his buddies boat, to follow behind to swim for it less than a rod length directly in front of me and directly across the pool I was fishing. When reprimanded for his lack of consideration he couldn't fathom what he'd done wrong. There are a few great pools but access is difficult due to steep banks and lack of ladders.

Bank holiday Saturday - Wye full of canoeists, making fishing difficult. Water still low, but improving. No pulls.

No salmon, lots of canoes.
