Hello All,

Anybody fished this palce recently?

I am having a casting/tactics lesson there tomorrow evening, but will be there most of the day, so just wondering if anyone has any pointers.

Thanks

Rich

The only pointers I would give are to find some fish- There is always one lake where the fish are within casting distance, so you may have to move a bit. Keep changing your flies, if there is no interest and vary your retreive. If you don't catch anything in the first 10 to 15 minutes (assuming you're over fish of course) - Change the fly. If you catch a couple and then they go off that fly- Change the fly. Variety works best on these small waters.
In the morning bigger flies will probably fish best, damsels and montanas. Smaller flies like diawl bachs and dark flies will come into their own as the water warms up and a few flies start to hatch off.

Good luck.
