Best Patterns
olive cdc, olive hopper, dry damsel, brown shipmans, damsel nymph, olive cruncher, black buzzer.
Plenty of fish rising during most mornings taking damsel nymphs and adult damsels.
The far end of the lake from the lodge is holding most fish.
Dry fly was easily the best method although boat anglers also had success with a washing line using a damsel booby and buzzers/diawl bach.
During the quieter afternoons, fish were taken from down the middle using straight lined buzzers or a di3 and blobs.
The cooler summer has kept the fish in excellent condition with numerous anglers getting broken last week.
