Ranger's review:  Hurry to Hury!!         
What a start to the new season for Hury, with 41 limit catches and a rod average of 6.3        
fish per angler. All this despite the often appalling weather conditions prove that this reservoirs is still one of the most productive fly fisheries in the North East. Some superb fish were taken, with  most anglers having a 3lb plus fish in their catches, and E Parker, D Carr, C Owen and P Garland all  taking 5 pounders. Methods ranged from floating to sinking lines with lures to wet fly to nymphs all catching fish. Fish were reported caught from all around the reservoir with anglers often returning  many fish, G Thorn and R Hill both taking their limit and returning a further eight making this an opening  to remember, so don't miss out, hurry to Hury!!          
Best flies:    Black Fritz, Dawson's Olive, Viva and any large black wet flies.         
        
Best areas:    Waterfall Bay, Newhouse Bay, Reedy Bank & Scoon Bank
