Ranger's review:      
      
The atrocious weather has continued throughout the week and made fishing very difficult.      
With cloudy water conditions the fish are lying deep, and anglers using swim feeder and      
maggot or Powerbait on the hook have had the greatest success. This method did produce    
several limit catches, with both ends of the Dam Wall the best locations.      
With a return to calmer conditions the water should soon clear, and with around 3000 fish     
now stocked, anglers can look forward to some excellent trout fishing.     
      
Best baits:    Maggot with Swim feeder       
      
Best areas:    Both ends of the Dam Wall
