They arrived just as the snow started to melt and got amongst some handsome fish. Paul archieved a personal best on day #1 with a 6.5 pounder - only to better that effort with an 8.5 pound rainbow the following day.

The FlyLife Forum boys arrived on Friday afternoon and landed a few prior to drinkies and din-dins. A still, sunny day greeted the anglers on Saturday morning and some exciting, albeit frustrating, fishing followed. Sunday was the exact opposite - windy, cloudy, cold and drizzly - welcome to Millbrook Lakes!!
30+ fish landed and returned for the weekend - up to 5 1/2 pounds. Well done to all. Last year, Millbrook Lakes had very little rain. We had a very dry, albeit cold Winter, and the usual Spring rains never showed up. This resulted in very low water levels. The view of Cabin Lake from the windows of the Cabin was simply one of dry paddocks.
The rain Gods have lifted their game however. We have had 85mm of rain in July so far. We've also had 260mm of rain since the beginning of May. And the trout are loving it! The following photos exhibit the change over 7 days in July.... |
