I'd recommend doing a full lap. Pack a lunch and enough water. It's easy, can't get lost walking (well, almost can't. I'm sure there's someone out there who could find a way to). It throws up fishable spots at regular intervals, with a nice variety of terrain. There's shallow flats, some grassy, some bare: there's a few nice mid depth banks to drop offs. And, at the quarry, there's very deep water straight down from the shore.. The only bit I don't really like is the far end of the western shore - trees, lots of trees, on the shore and out in to the water.
Compared to other times i've been there, the water level is seems quite high at the moment. That's shifted the fishable bit bit around some, That's good too, yes? variety.
Cheers,

Hi,
Where are the drop offs and where is the quarry you mention? Are those the small lakes on the way up to wall on the left? I have been there a few times now but usually only fish the area on the left side of the wall as you walk up, I think that's the east... Only ever caught in the small lakes on dry and nymph usually at the end of a frustrating session. The large ones in the main lake just don't seem interested a lot of the time. I once walked about half way around but really couldn't find a spot that looked worth spending time on.
