Well that is it for me for the season. I will not be fishing for brown trout again this season. On this trip I noticed quite a few brown trout paired up and laying over gravel beds, ready to do their thing and spawn. Rainbow trout do not spawn just yet, they're probably another month or so away from spawning but the browns are just about to start. I have 1 particular stream that I like to fish which contains rainbow trout only. I will likely be fishing that stream again before the season opens but that's it. As out creeks and river rarely if ever receive any stocking of trout, I think that it is critically important to leave the brown trout alone for the last couple of weeks of the season. Personally, in order to protect our struggling wild trout fisheries, I would fully support an earlier closing of the trout season here in Victoria. I think mid may would be a much better time to close the season, in order to protect the brown trout more. In Tasmania the trout season closes at the start of May each year, and opens in August. By leaving the season closed in August gives the rainbow trout better protection, but in saying that there are not huge amounts of rainbow trout in Tasmania. I have had an awesome trout season this year. It started great, is ending great and I have enjoyed some fantastic trout fishing sessions along the way. #fishing #troutfishing #trout
