AUTUMN CONTINUES TO IMPRESS

19/3/2020

As a guide, you learn not to talk up the fishing too much. However as these pics from the last few days show, this autumn, it's not proving easy to abide by that!
 
Take yesterday with Mick and Luke. It was warm (26C), often windier than ideal, and mostly cloudy. Yet from the very first cast of the day at Cabin Lake to a 4 pound brown, the fishing never really slowed down no matter which lake we fished. There was polaroiding the edges (yes, even in full cloud), a big dun hatch for 2 hours with every fish on them, smelters, damsel leapers, and a finale of midges so thick, the trout rose in squadrons and we literally could not turn on a torch without choking on midge. From our mid-morning start until walking off the water exhausted but happy at 8.30pm, we never went more than 10 minutes without casting to a sighted fish, and often it was non-stop targets.
 
A combination of a wet 2019 with full lakes, then a cool, wet late summer, has us blessed with lots of trout in excellent condition (that won't change); and a bug bonanza (at least for now. See? We're being cautious!)
