A wild and wet start to winter

30/6/2021

June up here is always cold, sometimes wet, and occasionally windy. It’s the last feature though for which June 2021 will be remembered. On the 9th and 10th, an unusually deep low pressure brought destructive winds to many elevated parts of Victoria, and the Millbrook area wasn’t spared. The old timers say it was the worst wind they’ve experienced. Trees blocked roads and tracks for days, but fortunately, our cabin and homes were spared. And with more rain at the same time, the lakes just kept filling – with most now spilling.
 
The fishing has mainly been about polaroiding the edges for finicky fish; tailers (though these are patchy so far), and increasing midge action. As all the flooded vegetation starts to rot, the resulting midge food should see their numbers boom further – fingers crossed!
 
Meanwhile, our stocking for 2021 has commenced, and after their success since our first stocking last year, quite a few tiger trout have gone in this month. Hope we’ll be seeing them as big, pretty catches this time next year.
