Fishing report week ending 21/05/06
A better weeks fishing despite the wet & windy conditions we had at the end of the week with 160 rods catching 423 trout returning 154 for rod average 2.6 Water clarity remains excellent with visibility to over 11ft
82 year old Lol Worral fished twice during the week catching 9 on his first visit & 14 on his second with all his fish taken on static buzzers on a 20ft leader, Andrew Brook-Lawson caught 10 on a dry hawthorn pattern in front of the dam, Mark Sturgees fished an afternoon session catching 8 on buzzers including 3 fish over 2lb.
Our buzzer hatches seem to be better than last year with more of the larger grey & black buzzers. During the last week the first of the damsels have also shown with plenty of hawthorn still been blown onto the water.
During any overcast period a muddler pulled through the wave has produced exciting sport with plenty of fish seen to be moving in front of the dam & stones during the last hour.
