A westerly has held for 8 hours at much the same temperature as the 14°C water. No thermal steer either way, but the drift still stacks food against the eastern end — the bank it is blowing into — so start there. This reads the upper water, though — a bottom bait at range feels it far less than a floater or a fish in the margins. Treat it as a tiebreaker between good swims rather than an override — features and angling pressure usually count for more.
Start with Perch Fry (8-10_long_shank) — on the point. As evening approaches, switch to dries or emergers if you see surface activity.
If the daddy is being refused, drop to a hopper or a single foam beetle and cover rising fish individually.
Daddy Longlegs may strengthen through the middle of the day as conditions warm.
Good ripple suits both bank and boat. Bank: work inflows, dam walls, and points. Boat: broadside drift covering wind lanes.

Numbers are intensity 0 (none) to 3 (peak) — a guide, not a guarantee.
A good match for Assaroe Lake — most conditions are close to what it fishes best in.
Terrain map
- Cloud cover (cloud) suits the fishery well.
- Daddy Longlegs are in their seasonal window, boosting the chance of targeted feeding.
- Reservoirs of this kind fish hard at this time of year.
- Trout 1 March → 30 September
