Although weather conditions over the past month has limited the opportunities for anglers a number of lakes and rivers have provided sport for those willing to persist.

Arthurs Lake has continued to produce fish although not as consistently as in past years.
Nearly all reports indicate that flyfishers are experiencing fewer fish than would be expected. Lure fishers appear to be enjoyng good catches.

Great Lake has offered reliable sport for anglers fishing over weed beds although again persistence is required.

Little Pine Lagoon has seen many fish tailing around it's shores. These fish have a well earned reputation for their unwillingness to eat a fly. USA anglers Bill Deboer and Charlie Virruso discovered this on a recent early morning session. Finding the trout was really quite easy, we were greeted with fins and tails immediately. I don't think we moved more than fifty meters from our original position over the entire 2 hour session. Moving up to cover a fish then moving back to cover another we cast to probably 20 or more fish.

Bronte Lagoon, Ashley Kent and Norm Cribbin tell of a delightful session on the lagoon recently. After an uneventful start, their persistence was rewarded when they discovered a number of fish feeding on Gum beettles. Ashley described of how the beetles were floating approx one meter apart on the edge of a wind ruffled surface and the calmer water. Their careful observation resulted in the capture of eight healthy brown trout. Well done.

Macquarie River (Northern Tasmania) Our Mayfly season on lowland rivers has begun earlier than usual as our resident guide Peter Kubiak recently discovered. Peter reports that Mayflies were about in good numbers. A well placed dry fly to a feeding trout was usually greeted with enthusiasm.

Happy Fishing,
Paul Kaine.
