Report from canal as promised.
3 am start, on the road by 3.30 and a great run through to the canals.
Absolutely no flow at all and I mean none through the entire Hydro system from one end to the other. It was very strange to see the areas in front of the Dams mirror still.
As it turned out I met a worker who informed me they are doing a big maintenance / service on intake grills and other stuff .
No flow in the canals means very slow action and hard work along with changing the technique to more of a lake style .
Water was also a little milky from all the rain.
Landed a small Brown of around 2lb that I released , dropped 2 more and landed this Rainbow of around 5 - 5.5 lb. Great scrap.
Funny how many different colour softbaits I have but it's always one colour I get results on.
All in all a hard won day at the canals but lots of fun.![]()
