Arthurs Lake – good reports of fish being caught on mayfly patterns in the middle of the day, trollers have been doing well trolling around the islands.

Penstock – a lot of fish rising but playing hard to get

Great lake – Fish are in amazing condition and all fishing methods are proving to be effective

Lake Sorell – The big news this week is that lake Sorell is officially opening to fishing on the 8th February after many years of intense work from the Inland Fisheries Carp Management Program.  This will be a great opportunity for anglers to reunite themselves with this once iconic lake and a good chance for a new generation of anglers to experience Lake Sorell for the first time.
