Now as the spring is starting to kick in, it’s about time to have a wrap up on how went on Blue Mountains lakes during winter. Fishing for trout in lakes especially here in the Blue Mountains, it’s a test for every fisherman’s patience. You can sometimes spot them false-spawning in the shallows or on the gravel bed, but any fly or lure you throw at them they ignore. Lake trout – they’ve seen it all. But once in a blue moon you get lucky and you land the biggest fish of the season, and that’s exactly what happened to me on one of those outings. So no matter how much I hate flyfishing for lake trout, reward can sometimes be definitely worth all that hustle. Now bring on October long weekend and fishing the rivers again.
