40 tons at Eastco is perfect fishing water. It can actually be fished up to 80 tons.
There will be some of us there who have fished the venue at 80 tons, and will be able to show the others where they can comfortably fish.
 
The water above the barrage is devoid of fish, so not worth fishing.
 
Eastco is still a good bet for Sunday. w;k

If we caught fish on every trip, it would be called " Catching". We don't, and that's why it's called "Fishing".

Pack a raincoat and life jacket boys.
Be careful - Eastco can be tough above 40 cums.

Rory. Etienne, Christo and I fished Eastco this morning. The flows had dropped from 67 yesterday evening to around 44 when we went onto the water and 41 when we left the water.
Fishing in dropping flows is always going to be difficult, and so it proved :-( After some trial & error ( read nearly get washed away ) we found the right areas to fish, but alas the fish, they were not there, or not hungry :cnfzd .
I managed 2 muddies and a yellow hooked, but none in the net :blush: :blush: .
 
I know that Rory was VAS at least once, I'll let him tell the story :-)
 
Thanks to Christo for entering into the Ultimate Spirit and coming through for the whole weekend. Nice putting a face to a name.
 
Rory and Etienne, thanks as always for the good company.
 
Some pics of the day.
First is of a bird that Rory says is a good  :corrct: in the book. Sorry forget the name of it  :blush:
 
The second is of a caterpillar on it's way to either hump or eat Etienne's fly.
 
The third one is of Rory .
