Millbrook - "COVID-normal"

15/10/2020

​At last! Millbrook is almost back to normal… well, COVID-normal. Thanks to incredible support from our regional Victorian guests, it’s been pretty busy here since we went to Stage 3 in late September. Fortunately, the trout are blissfully unaware of the pandemic and the fishing has been fantastic. Our love/hate relationship with mayfly is mostly love right now, with exceptional dun hatches and spinner falls which commenced significantly earlier (late September) than usual, and have been going strong ever since.
 
Meanwhile, with all lakes full, the flooded vegetation has continued the midge boom; some evenings to a silly extent. Be careful what you wish for though: Philip reports that on Wednesday evening just gone, the midges were so thick, there were at least a dozen big trout going flat out in a corner the size of a living room. Talk about a snowflake in a blizzard – it took guest Will countless casts to finally draw his fly right past a riser’s nose at the right instant. (At least it was a 5 pound brown!)
 
So the fishing has had the decency to perform at, or better than, the standard during lockdown. Now we just need to be able to share that with our Melbourne, Sydney and SA friends again…
