Ranger's Review:       
       
Severe weather has greatly restricted the fishing to-date and made the water very turbid.       
Those fish that have been taken are lying deep and are best taken with a Pink Booby.       
More stormy weather is predicted for the Easter weekend, so difficult conditions seem       
set to continue for a few more days.  One fish spooned during the week showed they are       
feeding on buzzers, nymphs and daphnia.
