There was almost total cloud cover up until 11am this morning and the fishing was slow, once the sun broke through the catch rate improved dramaticaly.  Nymphs are still the flavour of the month, though green orbits, grey ghosts and other smelt patterns are taking fish.  There quite a few large browns crusing and actively feeding off Hamurana and can be caught on gold bodied jack sprats or similar.  With the current wind direction the cold water plume at Hamurana is being pushed to the left.  Most fish seem to be on the outside of the main cold water plume.
