The reservoir is fishing well with a lot of rainbows coming to eat your olive Crystal Bugger. Fish it on a sinking line toward th banks. Other good options are baetis nymphs dead drifted under an idicator, the BP Weiss Nymph, black and oive X-Mays, Two-Bit Hookers and the venerable Mercer's Micro-May are all in the mix for this one. Your box should always be stocked with red and black Zebra Midges in #16 - 20 when heading out to Keswick. Watch out for the rocks and bring your best hookset!
