Fishing Report on 30th June 2025
For the period of nearly the whole of June, we have seen 201 visits by the persevering few members who have braved the wind and scorching conditions to produce a catch of 162 trout. Of those that were caught, 48 were returned to fight another day. Both floating and sinking lines continued to be used with varying degrees of success. In addition, 3 brownies and only 1 of the big rainbows were also caught and released. Luis de Souza was the fisherman who caught that only big one recorded for this month. Congrats! It looks like the rising water temperatures have probably adversely affected the feeding patterns of the big trout. They like us humans, most likely decided that siesta in the deeper parts of the lake would be a better idea than mooching around for food. However, for those days when they felt like feeding, boobies and different nymphs like damsels and diawl bachs have managed to entice them. As to where they might be, try the southwest bank adjacent to the Haul Road, south bank and east bank. When in doubt, just ask fellow members who are catching.
As for the clarity of the water, it has been surprisingly good and quite clear still despite the few warm spells. However, I foresee clarity will begin to suffer as green algae blooms start spreading as water temperatures begin to soar with the long periods of hot and dry days. It’s Summer! Remember UV protection!
Tight lines!
