I saw a great way to keep swans away over my lake yesterday. Food dye in a squirty bottle mixed with a small amount of hand sanitizer gel to stop it running off their feathers. Swans hate being dirty a couple of squirts of this stuff and they were gone for about 4 hours cleaning/pruning them selves

Evening Chaps,
Just got back from my first session as a permit holder, arrived at lake 7am Friday and left at 2 today and typically as I was packing up the heavens opened and there was not one dry bit of me!! Barrow got stuck in mud quite a few times.
Had a great time Swim 54 as there was a lot of water to go at, learnt a lot and worked my arse off for a bite but unfortunately is was blankety blank lol Tough weather conditions and I knew id be lucky to snare one. Only about 10 on all weekend, met mark the bailiff on Friday who was a lovely guy and a younger bailiff on Saturday.
Even in the winter its a beautiful lake and surroundings, so well chuffed with my first trip even without a fish.
Cant wait to get back in the next couple of weeks.
Im home now, all showered and dinner ready so perfect end to a weekend.
All the best,
Dane

There were about 8 of us fishing Friday - Saturday it got a bit busier maybe 12 fishing. 1 guy had 3 out from the Big Double Swim on Winter bay - tale end of last week. Saturday a fish came out on the road bank on Summer Bay. I left 3pm Saturday. Couple of bites/ short runs but blanked. Wind very strong Friday and Saturday.

Thanks Tony, at least some fish are coming out. Mornings and evenings are getting lighter which is nice.
