Ranger's review:
Whittle Dene Western  Lake is now open to coarse anglers after being     
a trout lake for a number of years.  Anglers who fish this lake are     
asked to record all catches, even trout as this will give us an idea      
of what is in currently in there!  Another cold week but very productive with anglers     
catching good nets from the Great Southern.  Local expert Steve      
Wood again showed the others how to do it managing a massive     
catch of 27lb all from the Great Southern using the pole.     
Regular anglers P Hoult and N. Jose also had a good day catching      
16lb of mixed fish all on the pole with maggots in just 5 hours.     
Anglers are still not signing out with only 9 out of 26 giving us any information!  Please     
tell us weights, areas and baits - its for your benefit, thank you.     

Best areas:    Great Southern     
     
Best baits:    Maggots      

Best methods:   Pole with feeder
