    no, im not a big fan of spinning to be honest.

    Well if your after trout you'd best get spinners. Always handy when they're not takin the fly or worm

    Have you got any Tasmanian devils?
    On lakes I find them the best.

    They have an amazing action in the water.

    After fishing the lake intensively the last 2 weeks, using maggots and waggler, worm and waggler and spinning. I caught about 200 perch and only 2 small trout(maggots). going to try dry and wet flys for the next while. the perch are a big problem though.

    was back at the lake last night, it has risen 2 or 3 foot in the last week after all the rain, didn't catch a thing(not even a perch), the last day i was there i caught about 20 perch, was using worms and feeding with maggots yesterday. there was fish rising quite a bit, wondering should i go back up this evening and fish with wet and dry fly or leave it a few days for the water to drop a bit?

    I'd try fly over worm at this time of year.
