Best Patterns
black buzzer, red cruncher, black hopper, black spider, dry or wet daddy, white/green lures, pink or black snake.
During bright sunshine the fishing was tricky, especially from the bank. Boat anglers continued to catch if they fished 2 – 4 foot down with a floater/midgetip with a washing line set up or an intermediate with lures.
When there is cloud cover there are plenty of fish rising to hatching buzzers.
Fish are well spread with most areas producing apart from the West arm.
The rain this week should allow some daddies to hatch.
There continues to be a good number of 4lb+ fish caught.
