Terry's report 28/10/10

As i got down to the lake yesterday, the conditions looked good, slight breeze, plenty of fish rising and the weather staying dry. I decided to fish with just the 1 rod, 10' #7 with a floating line. I started of fishing damsels, but with nothing, fish continued to rise, so i put on a cats whisker. Plenty of fish would chase and follow but none would hit it. I decided to switch tactics totally and put on an etha-foam daddy on the point with a small nymph on the dropper. First cast, first fish! Had quite a few offers on this technique, but again as in my previous blogs, all under the water! they wouldnt take anything if it was presented on the surface. I got 3 fish quite quickly on this method and missed a few more. The fish after a while went down deeper and you had to change tactics again to catch. Also a special mention to Bev, who i was fishing with. She did exceptionally well in catching 3 fish and a few more were lost, all her fish came to damsels on a floating line. The retrieve was the key to catching fish for her, varying it from slow to fast until she found the correct speed.
