Sport: There were some good catches made today from several anglers and some super trout caught with plenty of rainbows and blues weighing over 4lb. The best catch today went to bank angler Bill Orrell who landed 11 good trout. Bill opted for a roving approach and fished the bank all the way along from Bens beach to Hollins bay taking fish all the way along. The biggest rainbow of the day went to Andy Hulls who landed a super 7lb 8oz fish that took a booby and put up a super fight in deep water near the dam. The biggest blue trout today was caught by Mr Davey with a belting 6lb 1oz fish that was also caught near the dam. Out on a boat today was Derek Moore who caught 10 fish. Derek caught fish all over the reservoir and found various dry flies effective. Andy Hulls and Ray Bird had a good day afloat landing 10 fish between them. They caught on several patterns with the dam and the alders being their best areas. Also landing a good catch from a boat was Tony Newall who caught 7 rainbows. Tony fished dries right in the middle of the dam wall to take his fish. There are fish right out in open water and these fish put up a super fight as they dive deep when hooked, great sport. See you on the water Paul.
