Fishing Report

Last week saw lots of rainfall and cooler temperatures that really helped to freshen up the water. The fish are active in most areas of the lake. They seemed happy to chase a lure such as a blue flash damsel, black snake or humongous. A slow to medium retrieve had best results and often no more than three rod lengths out. At times the fish were receptive to a dry fly such as a daddy, hopper or a grey wolf.

Malcolm Cole had a good day on Thursday with 6 fish netted and countless lost with black hoppers and red hoppers. 

It was was great to host a GAIA workshop at Blackdyke on Sunday for Graham Jackson and Jonh Reynolds. They had tutorials for casting and Mark Aston talked about lure fishing for bass. We supplied them with a barbecue and then they stayed for a fish.

Mark is pictured after catching at the north corner with a damsel. Fishing is definitely becoming more consistent and we are looking forward to the next few weeks.
