		<description><![CDATA[Low water levels combined with high winds and heavy rainfall have reduced water clarity to around a foot in places as exposed shorelines are washed out into the body of the lake.

		<description><![CDATA[The recent humid weather has reduced activity levels and catches are becoming less prolific as the fish move onto maintenance feeding patterns in the warmer water. A decline in food species also means that the trout tend to burst feed, stocking up in shorter periods of high activity as opposed to the &#8220;grazing&#8221; patter that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blagdonlake.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11759777&amp;post=1878&amp;subd=blagdonlake&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fishing is very much a story of the two aspects of the lake : banks and boats both need a different approach tactics. With the trout feeding predominantly on the corixa, the banks are fishing best in the early morning and late evenings when the trout move into the margins after the corixa. It&#8217;s quite [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blagdonlake.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11759777&amp;post=1876&amp;subd=blagdonlake&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Water levels continue to drop but not sufficiently to strand weed beds to improve bank access and clarity isn&#8217;t at its best with around two to three feet of visibility in the algae-tinted water. The good news is that the blue/green phase is over which means that oxygen levels are climbing again, allowing the trout [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blagdonlake.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11759777&amp;post=1875&amp;subd=blagdonlake&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The algae is a blue/green type, which means that when it&#8217;s concentrated by falling water levels or by prevailing winds and becomes stranded around the margins, it becomes toxic and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blagdonlake.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11759777&amp;post=1873&amp;subd=blagdonlake&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

While fly patterns and fishing methods are both the same from the banks and the boats, the approach tactics are very different. Firstly, rigs are quite straightforward [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blagdonlake.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11759777&amp;post=1868&amp;subd=blagdonlake&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
