I've had three sightings there in the last three weeks, the first for months.  
But considering the number of times I went there to get those sightings (almost 
daily), I'd say your chances are slim.  Only one of the sightings was long 
enough to be tickable.

The water has only just dropped to a level where sightings start happening, but 
not low enough for regular ones.  It really needs to fall at least another 
couple of cm.  It was raining there as I passed this morning, so I doubt the 
level will have fallen much by the weekend.
