Monday

Not bad weather wise today, suns out with the odd bit of cloud cover about.
However the wind is quite strong, westerly. Couple of anglers already out on the water braving the winds.
Its very important in a decent wind to watch your casting, ive seen alot of anglers casting with the wind at their casting arm which can be dangerous, as the wind will blow the line back towards your body.

Your Casting arm must be downwind, so if your right handed, your left arm should be into the wind, and your right arm downwind, so the line and hooks! dont come flying towards you.

Slow sinking line to get through the wind, and a team of buzzers fished slow (virtually static), so maybe a bouyant fly on the point to keep your flies away from any weed beds.

Midges are the most common form of trout food here at curleys so try imitating them in their earlier stages closer to the lake bed. The larvae stage, which ranges from minute to 2cm in length and in vary in colour, black, grey, green and red. The red larvae otherwise known as Bloodworms can be easily imitated as there as lots of patterns available to do so.

A good bass bag will resolve this problem, you can then easily attach the bag to the jettys or to the bank side.

UPDATE:
Member Phil Reese netted 5 fish over all to dwial bachs.
Member Jim McGinley has the one fish to a olive zonker.
