McLaren falls is hard work. The canals are full of snails and crafty browns. Small Cochy Bondhu or other snail pattern. Presentation is key and the canals are hard as there is no cover and the water is quite clear. Down canal from the lake once it transitions to concrete it is easier to spot fish.

Careful you don't slip into the canal, although the ride down the hill to the power station turbines would be a hoot! But messy
