Closed season stream reconnaisance
The Victoria, Australia trout stream season ended a few weeks ago so any trout fishing I do until September will be in lakes and reservoirs. In that time I'll have a look at any creeks and streams that I come across and map out a few new streams that I can try when the season reopens. There is one small stream that has had a couple of mass brook trout escapes over the last few years that I definitely would like to fish. Brook trout aren't very common in OZ, unlike browns and rainbows. When word got out about these escapees, the little stream was like Burke Street in rush hour and it got absolutely thrashed. Not alot of catch and release there. I didn't get a chance to fish there. I'll try to post a link to a site where someone did very well.

Trying to find Brook trout in Australia should be similar to finding Kangaroos in the USA.

Or polar bears in Africa!

A nice looking brook trout. Come September, I hope there are a few remaining brook trout escapees in the Rubicon River. No use keeping it secret--just about every man and his dog knows about this spot. What did you catch your brookie on?
Cheers,
Steve.

If my memory serves me well it was a Sz14 baby woolly bugger....I usually start with a wet black & peacock but the
water was slightly coloured on this occasion.

I'm thinking of sending away for some classic brook trout flies like the Parmachene Belle, McGinty and Mickey Finn. It would be a hoot to catch a brookie on one of these flies, along with one of my old fibreglass fly rods and Southbend auto reel. Sort of a trifecta--classic brook trout fly, vintage reel and a brook trout. I might have to take along the cane creel too!
Cheers,
Steve.
