Landed 17 fish here today in just over 4 hours including a decent 5lb brown. Used sinking link, orange and silver size 12 and a green cats whisker with orange bead on tail. Both with a fast retrieve. The fish were moving very fast, very deep with plenty of acrobatics and tail walking.

It was a great honour to catch another of your nice brownies Mr 22lbs, and for it to be the first fish to grace your stalking waters. I had to leave a bit earlier than I wanted on Saturday, but I'll be back, you can bet on it!
