HOT SPOT
Lake Leake; Redfin fry are thick all over the lake and the fish are found schooling up and marauding the large schools of fry. Most of the large schools are found out wide in deep water. A variety of small wet flies fished on floating and slow sinking lines will be sufficient. Good midge fishing to be had of the early morning and late evening. Fish condition is probably the best in the state at the moment with lots of fat fish hitting the nets.
Arthurs Lake; Duns and beetles are bringing fish to the surface and if you can find a rising fish they are usually easy enough to catch. The Jonah bay car park has not been full for years, but don't be surprised if space is hard to find.
