Ranger's review:       
Hury continues to fish very well with a catch return sheet littered with many limit catches and lots of fish taken in the 3, 4 & 5lb range.  Best fish of the week went to a Mr Alf Illingworth with a nice rainbow weighing in at 8lb 4oz.  Mr E Ekers also took a good 3lb blue.     
As the weather starts to warm up try using a full floating line but still fishing sub surface using a Gold Head Dawson's Olive; a good all weather fly which will rarely let you down.      
     
Best flies:    Dawson's Olive, Cat's Whisker, Black Fritz, Orange Fritz,    
  Kate Mclaren as a dropper.      
Best areas:    New House Bay, How Gill Point,  Corporal Hill.
