Hi TRAVELLER ,GOOD TO SE ITS FISHIN WELL ,I HAVENT BEEN SINCE DANNY HAD IT.MUST GIVE IT A GO THO .WERE THEY ON DRIES & can you get back onto the big island now .i used to love off the point with a HOTSPOT FEZZY , CHEERS PAL .

dries later on when sun went down absolutely bubblin m8, sadly no the big island still isnt fixed

thanks for the info TRAVELLER ill give it a go,especially on the dries ,cant wait

I went up here the other day in the hope of fishing it.

The fly lake is totally neglected. At least 2/3 of it is full of weed and half of the platforms have traffic cones on them because they're falling apart.

The bridge to the island is now completely gone. In the time that I was there, I saw one fish rise, when there should have been lots, due to the conditions.

Try 2 or 3 dries across the top of the weed and see what happens ,u may get a nice 4 pounder ,just like i did and 2 or 3 more ,

Have`nt fished Springwater in last few months but was there often during the winter(including Christmas day,when i was the only one on the water and Wullie went out and broke the ice so i had an area to fish in)so unless the fish have sprouted legs and walked there is plenty of fish in it.I`ve been to a few fisheries lately and hardly saw a fish all day when i was expecting to be fishing top of the water.Caught a lot of my trout recently fishing at depths of 10 to 15ft down.That`s the joys of fishing to me,the fish don`t always do what we want them to do or would like them to do.
