Summer can provide some very tough trout fishing here in South Eastern Australia. Trout fishing conditions are marginal at best in this part of the world, and each year the trout fishing seems to get tougher and tougher. Despite this, we seem to adapt and find new, and better places every season. Catching trout in the middle of summer is always going to be a big ask, especially in a lowland rural stream. Next week I am hoping to go trout fishing again, but this time I will go somewhere different. I will look for a trout stream that is much more overgrown, and over-run with vegetation which is shading the trout stream, assisting to keep the water cool. I miss my trout fishing during the hottest months of the year. Thankfully I have some great Murray cod fishing at my back door to see me through the hot months. In my area, trout fishing is best during spring and autumn. The middle of autumn is best before the trout start to spawn later in the autumn, or fall as the Americans call it.
