The trout lake
The trout lake has had 44 fishermen for a catch of 235 fish 23 over the 10lb mark with a catch rate of 5.3 fish per angler .
Buzzers on a washing line with a 10-12 foot leader is the best method with fluro and black and red buzzers the best flies .
Cats whisker,damsons ,montana and the blood worm replicas are all flies catching well .

Dave Hudson had a total of 11 fish with a 7lb rainbow in a 2 hr frenzy all caugh on the dreaded washing line method ,a stocking of fish to replace the ones removed will be on weds this week
