Lovely day with plenty of fish showing.

Fished all areas of the reservoir, most particularly concentrating on the western bank. Generally good, mixed weather with cloud cover and stiff breeze. Fished both deep and surface using a mix of patterns including imitative and attractor patterns. Only one fish seen moving on the top. Fished all afternoon and into the evening with only one take just below the surface late afternoon. Temperature fell quickly after 5pm when the sun dropped below the mountains and trees.

Due to low water level, access around the water is possible with care and waders, though casting is tricky in places because of trees and vegetation on the banks.

Although no fish caught, a very enjoyable afternoon’s fishing in great scenery. Parking was convenient via the lay-by close to the dam.

Hi
I had a nice afternoon caught one half pound brownie, on a small gold bead daddy.

Fished the West Bank but found it difficult to find space to fish due to tree cover. Did lots of walking, little fishing. Beautiful place, any chance of a little more guidance regarding access points on the website?

No fish that day

No fish no signs of fish disappointed and seeing camp fires and power bait everywhere walked down other two lakes people pulling up to to go fishing where are the bailiff like few years back always talking to them giving feedback and having tips off them

Difficult day to start reservoir like a mill pond. Caught a couple of nice three quarter pound fish. Hooked a really decent fish in the deep water off the island, only to lose it just as I was about to net. Estimate two and a half to three pounds.

Cloudy and still, good fishing conditions at first - then it poured, then it became hot and sunny. All fish caught in the morning, went completely dead later. All fish nice healthy brown trout, safely returned. Not brilliant access- the fishing from the slip and dam was accessible but the banks were overgrown and steep. Noise of the road not bad, but as a result never felt any wildness at the place. All fish caught on small imitators.
