Fish caught 320 Rod Average 1.7 The water is now starting to settle and the visibility is much better, fish are now feeding and anglers are starting to catch their limit bags. The most popular patterns have been Gold Head Green Montana's and Gold Head Viva's fished on a floating ling and a 15ft leader with a very slow retrieve.

The biggest fish caught so far this season weighed 5lb 1oz.

The most popular areas have been the South bank and in front of the lodge, providing the winds stay settled and the rain stays away then the fishing will only get better in the coming weeks.
