Spring fishing with the Hedges group

30/9/2019

This weekend’s group flew in from all corners of the country; deserving perhaps of a bit of spring weather for their travels. Instead, wintery conditions prevailed for the umpteenth trip in a row, although on the plus side, it seems the insects have finally lost patience and have decided to get busy anyway! Midges emerged in numbers on evening as usual, but there was also a decent midday hatch at Cabin Lake on Sunday, with the swallows and the trout equally active. The other remarkable thing was a genuine dun hatch on the lower elevation lakes on both Saturday and Sunday. This is the first time we’ve had a proper dun hatch in September for years. Who knows what that means for the coming mayfly season, but we’ll take it!
 
For our interstate visitors, there were a few individual firsts despite the cold, most notably, Lissie’s biggest ever trout – a 6½lb brown on a Milly Midge, and Louise’s first ever trout on fly – a 5lb brown on a red superglue buzzer. Now that our guests have departed, it appears that the start of October will finally see some mild weather, and we’re all looking forward to seeing what that brings!
