- Free fishing
Start with Olive Damsel (10-12) — on the point. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
If the main plan is not working, switch to a smaller, more imitative pattern fished slower and deeper. A change of drift angle can also make a difference.
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

Numbers are intensity 0 (none) to 3 (peak) — a guide, not a guarantee.
No confirmed current fishery operator as of June 2026. Confirm status directly before planning a trip — the operator's own website is stale and does not reflect the closure.
A reasonable day here, though cloud isn't quite in the sweet spot.
