Fishing Report

Over the last week we have had massive hatches of beetles on the lakes. Both lakes were bubbling with feeding fish rising. Some anglers matched the hatch bringing a lot of fish to the net. Other anglers have had to keep chopping and changing to small black flies to bring success. Reports show black Top Hats and Yellow Owl Cdcs have worked well for many anglers too.
