Last week was very steady before the restock on Thursday the 4th but not surprisingly it really improved on the days that followed. Damsels, cats and snakes were still the best performing lures and buzzers (especially black),bloodworm and squirmy worms did nicely also.
Kelston Burgess, for the last few visits has used a white squirmy worm to good effect up at the north end of the lake and Bob Gurnham had a very good day up there with damsels and snakes, catching double figures.
They were active all over the lake last week especially after introducing more fish. You could do well pulling lures but you could do equally well on top at times with a daddy or a klinkhammer. A klink did well for first timer Barry Matthews (pictured) who had an introductory lesson at the beginning of the week. The lessons are still very popular and it's great to see so many coarse anglers giving fly fishing a go.
Most of the fish have been caught within the top six feet and pretty close in. There is no real need for a boat but they have also done well as have the float tubes.
