Fished NE shore in strong breeze and fine rain a.m. Too windy for fly so spinning with small mepps. Moved across to S shore p.m. and the novice with me caught a 2lb rainbow. Returned to NE shore and two more rainbows of around 2lb were caught, another by the novice!! Squadrons of cormorants still on the reservoir.

6 trout all on legered worm with 2 feet from weight to hook. Poly ball on hook to keep worm off bottom. Fished just by the house. Casting out about 50 yards. Rocky bottom snapped a few fish on the way in.

Where did the water go? Where did the fish go? Fished from dawn to 10am and then from 2.30pm - 5.30pm. Tried 5 spots, worm on bottom, float, spinner all to no avail. Saw one fish jump. Windy and cold weather. Spoke to a fellow angler fly fishing who said that others on the ticket office side were catching on the bottom. First blank in 4 visits here.

Really hard day, not much happening on the water at all. Fished on the concrete next to the dam wall. Caught the only one on a worm.

Half the reservoir closed each side because of filming for a tv series. No notice put up in ticket hut to inform us. Noticed there was one in there later when leaving.
Couldn't fish the bay as job worth security man wouldn't let us down there. Fish this area often because easy access to water as other angler is disabled.
Onto the fishing. Fished just up from the boat launch area. Overcast with a strong breeze into our faces with choppy water. Bubble float impossible. However great success on spinner and fishing worm on ledger.

Cold, overcast day. S.Westerly breeze. Many offers to fly
early morning, mainly from the large number of small brown trout in the margins. A couple of Rainbows lost. Caught 3 rainbows after lunch on a spinner.
