The flat calms and torrential rainfall this week proved to be to the advantage of the fish. However, the difficult conditions did not disappoint. Anglers were left in a state of awe at the mirror-like water reflecting the picturesque surroundings, stunning sunsets and the deer playing in and around the water.
FISH OF THE WEEK- The top spot is shared by MICHAEL JOLLY and JIM ANDERSON both catching 11lb rainbows. Well done guys!
FLIES OF THE WEEK- The too 3 flies were Kate McLaren and Daiwl Bachs. Other successful flies were a grey owl, buzzers, black & blue fritz, cats whisker, black zonker, black ant, cutthroat cat, mini yellow dancer, humongous and cinnamon & gold.
