Summer insects stir trout – and anglers. An avid fisherman just below the second weir in Brumbys Creek recently found large trout gobbling up small beetles, mostly black with some green below and massed in clouds near the surface. Several trout also grabbed his lure but came off. Other beetles typically near northern trout streams are now small black and brown tea tree beetles that attract trout to rivers like the South Esk, North Esk, Meander, and Macquarie systems. As the name suggests, these beetles are often found on tea trees, and where any of these banks border rivers, fishermen may well find rewarding floating copies below and just downstream of them. . The tea trees along small rivers like the St Patricks are also worth a visit. Several northwest anglers fishing the upper Mersey River recently with small lures have found trout reaching the midges. They captured and made eight browns and rainbows, small but appreciated. Upstairs, the trolling specialist was pleased with Woods Lake’s results again last Monday, but was again upset with the hooks fouling the weeds. Still, between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m., he and a friend had limited bags of brownies, three of which weighed over 1.4 kilograms. Fly fishermen at nearby Penstock Lagoon also enjoyed the hatching of highland spinners on the sometimes calm mornings. The trout stocks there increased when Inland Fisheries transferred 1000 tiny wild rainbows from the Liawenee Canal, Grand Lac.
