With winter almost here, tailing trout and midge (chironomid) feeders are presently providing the feature fishing here at Millbrook. It’s great fun, but not easy – the fish are very short-sighted as they grub for scud and snails in the weed, or hunt for the prolific midge pupa on cloudy light wind days. Still, fast pin-point accurate casts with a Carrot trailing a stick caddis or buzzer usually bring a response, if not always a solid hook-up!
Can you please explain more where is this location? is it Lal Lal Reservoir?
No, Millbrook Lakes private fly fishery – visit http://www.millbrooklakes.com.au
Lal Lal Reservoir is closed to fishing but there are plenty of other good lakes in the district with public access – see May Days a couple of posts ago.
