It’s been a tough week for anglers we have had hundreds of fish in the shallow water feeding mainly on very small fry and refusing nearly everything that has been put in front of them. Boat anglers have had some short spells of very good sport when fish have been feeding freely over the deep water down the middle of the lake and taking dry’s such as Klinkhammers and Hoppers. September is usually a very good month with larger fly’s hatching and the fish get easier to catch.
