Report for week ending 15th July
By the weekend fishing was back to normal with trout free risingand taking a variety of flies and lures on or near the surface.
The boat anglers have had the majority of the sport with theAerators being a major attracting point for the fish.
A slow drift through the aerators with a sinking line has beenworking wonders. Many patterns have worked well, notably a MontanaNymph or Gold Ribbed Hares Ear retrieved at a steady pace.
For the bank anglers the Cascade, Verduns Point and Hut point havebeen the best spots. Again the fish have been near the surface, nomore than 5 or 6 feet down at most.
Gold Ribbed Hares Ear, Black Buzzers and small black Tadpoles haveall been successful patterns. The trick has been to fish them on aslow steady retrieve.
Prospects
