Tried spinning dam end and fly all over the res but not even a tug, Sunny, warm and flat calm, not the best conditions. Fished the west end,fly only end and again loads of nightlines set and even a tent hidden in the bushes, there are serious poaching issues here.

Terrible days fishing-Fished the Bay Area with a number of other anglers fishing. Reservoir like a Mill pond. No fish rising all day, no one catching anything no even the Perch—-First blank I have had here in a long time-Don’t mind not catching but would have been nice to see some activity

Fly fished the top end. Evidence of bait fishing but no rubbish problems.
Hard work, as the rainbows were't playing I went after brownies catching one.
Friendly and very helpful wardens. The road up to the tower has lots of pot holes so need a 4x4 or something with clearance to get up there.
Spoke to a few anglers during the day and unfortunately there seems to be an ongoing problem with illegal fishing methods and night fishing. Shame as it's such a picturesque venue.
Still I had an enjoyable day even if it was hard work.

A few trout sited swimming, but not a single bite on spinner, fly or using worm. There seems to be some obvious signs of night fishing, i.e. small dead perch lying on the bank side, lots of fishing line, empty beer cans, adhoc fire places and freshly cut sticks used as rod holders....I really wish people would stick to the rules, it ruins what could be a perfect fishing site for those people trying to to minimise their own ecological footprint when visiting a place as beautiful as this.

Fly - Daddys and Shuttlecock buzzers. There was a lot of discarded line on the bank.

Fish were everywhere, reservoir level low and you could easily see rainbows, blues and golden trout swimming around in schools....very lethargic though. 3 of us managed to catch 6 trout altogether. Slow day. One caught on worm and 5 caught on a blue max spinner.
