Four Springs Lake water is down about 20 centimetres and remains relatively warm.

Weeds are a problem and local council signs erected recently advise that some may include blue green algae.

Fishing action there has been spasmodic, with trout after tucker like black ants, small fish and damselflies.

As on Brumbys Creek, last light may well be the most rewarding time.

A skilled veteran made the most of a calm spell at Little Pine Lagoon last week.

Trout were taking gum beetles and he used a floating copy to boat a limit of hefty brownies in quick time.

Craigbourne Dam proved productive for one troller who took his bag of brown and rainbow trout and a big Atlantic salmon.

The Inland Fisheries Service stocked this dam last Friday with 90 domestic Atlantic salmon, whoppers averaging 10 kilograms with the biggest 15 kilograms.

On Woods Lake, a specialist in trolling deep had to use nylon lines and constantly untangle weeds but he and a friend bagged limits of nice brownies during two mornings this week.

Most effective were green and gold lures.

Meanwhile, in saltwater the recreational scallop season opens this Saturday, April 13 for all waters except D'Entrecasteaux Channel.

Visitors to the western lakes are advised that the damaged bridge between Lake Ada and Ada Lagoon will be replaced between April 10 and April 12.

The Lake Ada boat ramp can still be used but with limited parking.
