Fish continue to feed 3-6 foot down on the large hatches of black or olive buzzers. Fish at the bottom of the wind are taking daphnia. The warmer temperatures this week should finally bring more surface activity. Best method from bank and boat is floating line, blob or fab on the point with buzzers on dropper, slow or very slow retrieve.
Some lovely quality fish continue to be caught.
Hopefully pond olives and hawthorn should arrive very soon.
Water clarity is excellent with both boat and bank anglers enjoying good sport.
