The weather has been variable this week with cloudy days, wet days, hot bright and sunny, cool and sunny, although this hasn't put the fish off it does mean adapting to the conditions on the day. On the bright hot days di-8's have been the line of choice but on the cooler days fish are nearer the top.
The north arm has been attracting the specimen hunters particularly around the Tower, Dickensons Bay and Cardiac Hill areas. For those anglers going for quantity then head off towards the main basin either fishing the slicks around the boils or taking long drifts towards the dam if the wind allows.
If the South Arm is where you want to be then head towards Green Bank, Old Hall and Yellowstone or on the opposite shore New Zealand Point and Sailing Club.
Over the weekend there have been reports of more than 50 fish being caught from the bank weighing up to 5lb.
Best flies to try: Dabblers, Cormorants, Diawl Bach's, popper fry and black snakes.
Don’t forget our sunset ticket option for an evening on the bank - £12 (1fish+c&r) from 6pm. Available from the ranger’s office (cash only).
