Fished Big T Saturday and Sunday. Very poor results to say the least. I nearly got skunked on Saturday, but a 4lb jack from the Major Jones while everyone else was watching the rugby saved the day. I was the only sole on the Jones!
 
Best fishing was early morning until 9am and late evening, river clear. A good few fresh fish coming out but not for meCry.
 
Our group had most success below the road bridge. There seemed to be a fresh run down there with the rain and low pressure on Sunday.
 
Best advice given these conditions? Don't sleep in!

The very first words spoken to me were"you should have been here last week!"
The last words were " are you sure you have to go? This low pressure system is really going to bring them on!"

Slow for me at the Delta. Great fishing but the catching was Cry

The Boulder Reach seems to be one of the most profitable spots at the moment. White or green caddis is the go.

The Waddels pool is good, I did ok there on Sunday, I have being using two glow bugs, one with a bit of lead on top of it, works well for me, The champagne colour or the super dark orange seemed to work.
