Thanks Welshlynx, went up there yesterday. There was a north easterly wind which was quite strong. Was advised to try the northern arm but that was dead. Eventually located fish by drifting from the eastern end by the nature reserve down to the cages but it was midday before they came up at all. Intermediate or slow sink seemed to produce best results with all sorts of flies doing the business, the best of which ran off with my yellow and white dancer which parted at the dropper knot. Lesson learned though, two turn water knot doesn't work on fluoro. Just being a bit lazy due to getting fed up with a few tangles in the strong wind. Back to three turns from now on. Other flies which caught included bloodworm, bibio, carrot fly, goldhead black tadpole.
Bill Smiths Bay was green with quite a bit of weed and algae having been blown down theres no good.
Had an enjoyable day though and will be back.
