Not very good fishing again, talking to other fishermen all saying the same.

3 people fishing. Started at 8am and didn't have a touch until 4:30. Tried fly, spin, worm on surface and worm on bottom. At 4:30, hit a purple patch and had 6 fish between us. Partly made up for a poor day. As always, it was peaceful and the scenery is great but for the price of the ticket the fishing was a bit slow.

Wet fly, nymph. Cool and windy. No fish but Kites in the sky, wild orchids under a tree and a beautiful location. A lovely day out. I had my permit checked by a ranger, a thoroughly nice chap and a pleasure to chat to. A credit to his employers ....well done.

Windy and cloudy day with sunny intervals, we fished with worm had 2 fish both returned 1 trout 3/4lb and 1 perch of the same weight.
Later in the afternoon we went fly fishing did not see a rise at all no fly life, a lovely location beautiful scenery. Did see a group of ten cormorants, (won't help the fish stock).

No fish seen or caught, a poor days fishing.

Started near the dam area mid afternoon, made a nice change to use a spinner for a little while but no offers. Decided to grab the fly rod and vest and walk to the south end of the lake... covered a lot of water and did not see a fish. I spoke to a few anglers bait fishing near the ticket machine that appeared to be regulars and they said they had never seen it so bad, there were around another seven anglers in view there and none of them appeared to be catching either. Still a very enjoyable first visit to the venue, I notice that some trout venues often fish poorly this time of the year so I'll return a little later in the season to see how it goes.

Another blank day, fishing seems to be very poor last few weeks having spoken to other anglers

Wet fly from south bank but no luck.
