Sampling in September showed there are still plenty of large brown and rainbow trout available from 16 to 24 inches. Fishing has been good recently and anglers have reported catching some very large rainbow trout. Brown trout have also been biting with catch rates of about two fish per hour.

Flows have fallen to 132 cfs.

Avoid over-playing a hooked fish as they are expending a lot of energy and it will take a lot longer to recover.
