The Lake has been fishing well in all areas and especially at Lochend, Malling Shore and
Gateside.

Tactics continue to be surface (floater or sink tip) with dries or a booby and buzzer/cormorant/
snatcher combination fished slowly. Lures (dancer/whitecat) have performed well also but pulled
in faster.
