| Species in the genus Daphnia are ubiquitous in Europe and North America. Daphnia and water fleas are also usually plentiful in a garden pond and good for small Koi fry. Bank anglers are also enjoying sport all over the lake with the Cliff and Pines areas producing the better fish to nymphs and to dries in fine conditions, although lures are still working well due to the amount of daphnia mixed in with the excellent buzzer hatches. |
