Tuesday 24th July

Warm and overcast (occasionally the sun makes the odd appearance), with a slight westerly wind (towards the cafe). Creating a nice gentle ripple across the entire lake. Very few fish showing near the surface, the water temperature has climbed over the last few days but not enough to put the fish off the feed. Sinking lines or floating line and long leader, deep fished buzzers or small lures doing well.

Today's top rod [1:00pm]

Mr Nick Woodward with 6 fish all to "Okey-Dokey" patterns, fished around 10ft deep, under a bung/indicator. Fishing off pontoon 4 & 5 (wall side embankment). Mr Woodward has also lost a further 2 fish at the net. Fishing slow and deep seems the way forward today.

Today's killing pattern

Orange/lime green okey dokies.
Gold head Cats whiskers.

Fish are feeding around the 8-10ft mark, the thermocline will alternate as the water temperature cools slightly towards late evening, a heavy evening rise is a distinct possibility with the warm conditions during the day falling off to cooler weather later on.  A lot of Damsel flies around the entire lake currently.

UPDATE:
Mr Nick Woodward has now netted 8 fish to the "Okey-Dokey" fly!
