A surprisingly good rod average for the end of July made possible by some great results for boat anglers.
Bank fishing is difficult in the hot weather with anglers doing well to catch a couple of fish.
Boat anglers are catching well targeting damsel feeders on the surface or fishing deeper down the middle.
Although there is an algal bloom, visibility is at least 4 foot in most areas.
