Opening of the trout season – North West Opportunities
Trout season 2017/2018 is nearly upon us and it is now time to ask the important questions… Where to fish on opening day? For those in the north west of the state, there are some excellent options for those anglers chasing their first trout of the season.
Recent rains have caused river levels to rise and with more forecast for the weekend this should continue meaning that hungry trout will be searching for food. Fishing with worms for bait in backwaters or over flooded margins will produce good quality fish. The Mersey River between Latrobe and Kimberley is always a hotspot early in the season. Last year on opening day most groups had caught fish in just a few hours fishing! Check out our Anglers Access brochure for ideas of where to fish.
