Ranger's Review:       
The weather is only just improving with sunny spells and showers all week.  Boat anglers are 
enjoying better results with many taking quality rainbows to 5 lb 8 oz on heavy sinking lines.   
A match mid-week resulted in good catches yielding an average of 4 fish per rod, mainly on  
Boobies.  Buzzer hatches are increasing with the warmer temperatures, so prospects are      
looking good on floating lines in the next few weeks.  Bank anglers are taking fish on static     
flies, where Bloodworm and Hare's Ears are proving better all round.
