Fishing Tactics

These vary with the time of year and water clarity. The specimen pool generally responds to lures such as the Black Fritz, Bunny Leech and Goldhead Damsel. Bankside is an excellent Buzzer water and evening dry fly sport is excellent. Woodside, being any method, responds to all baits particularly Sweet Corn !
