Trout rivers are closing soon for them to spawn and all (in Victoria it's the Queens birthday weekend in June), often a lot of people are out there trying to get the big spawning trouts with various methods.
Trout can be picky at times but math the hatch often works.
Here's my usual by the seasons and I think I need to exchange ideas and try new things
![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
Spring - big searching fly like woolly bugger or big dry fly with nymph, or rooster tail lure in rainbow/brown colour (bigger size for lake, smaller for smaller rivers)
Summer - caddis dry fly or nymphing, small hardbody lure around 30mm in natural colour in rivers, usually I don't fish lake trout in summer
Autumn - Mayfly dry with nymph/globug, big hardbody like double clutch or rapalas around 70mm, in brown/rainbow or pink/orange colour. As they are getting ready to spawn and can be aggressively territorial.
Winter (lake only) - spoon, like pegron, or tassie devil in pink. looking for smelting fish.
What are your go lures/flies for them?
I'm planning to take a day off of work next week and week after, potentially to Goulburn river. :water:
