Fish handling and welfare


Todays report : [08:45AM]

The weathers ideal again, overcast, and a little cooler than it has been.
Complete flat calm across the entire lake, very slight SW wind.
Alot of fish cruising just subsurface taking what appears to be, small black buzzers (emerging midges), not in great numbers but quite a few areas of hatches taking place currently, more so towards pontoon 7 (see curleys water map click here). Between pontoon 6 and 5 is also fishing well currently.

Light rain has just set in, but it shouldn't last long, according to the forecast. With some possible clear skies later on.

The Boat dock fished very well a couple of days ago, to a olive fritz gold head blob, fished under a indicator. Six trout came out to this method for one angler, fished very deep around 15ft down.

Overall its looking good for today, after the hot weather we've  had recently and it now cooling down dramatically, the catch rates are climbing again. With 6-7 fish per session not uncommon.

Currently the rod average is sitting at 4.2 Some nice blues coming out also, to various methods.
Between 3-4lb fully finned silver bars, alot of anglers have commented on how "blue" the blue trout actually are, almost fluorescent blue across the back, and the usual comments "they fight extremely well", Blues are renown for this. The biggest blue in the water currently is 9lb, catch this fish and you will have your knots tested!

UPDATE [11:15am]
The wind has picked up to around 10mph westerly. Cloud cover is breaking up with the odd patch of clear sky occasionally.
The fish are still showing near the surface.
A few midge hatches taking place, and the occasional dark brown/black sedges making an appearence.


Tight Lines,
Nathan
