I find the lads in the fishing lodge helpful by offering me flys and giving some hints on where to fish on the 6 lakes, however 5 are for Fly Fishing, one is Dry Fly only, another is the Cuthbert where you have to take the fish and there is no catch and release. The biggest other three lakes are both catch... (read more)
