Not many anglers ventured out in the wet and windy conditions. However with the mild weather, boat anglers caught well over open water. In the SW winds bank anglers concentrated on the brookside bank.
Best method has been a fab on the point with small nymphs on the dropper fished very slowly.
When colder temperatures finally arrive more fish will move into the margins, usually at the lodge end.
