Arthur's Lake
Tasmania's most productive trout fishing
On the Central Plateau, in Tasmania's Highlands, Arthur's Lake is approximately 45 minutes from Cressy.
Recognised as Tasmania's most productive and popular trout water, phenomenal wild brown trout populations thrive due to the abundant food supply, made possible by a habitat of extremely rich weed beds, woody debris and surrounding native bush.
All fishing methods are accepted here, with fly fishing being very popular
Tailing trout are a highlight early season, chasing frogs, tadpoles, shrimp and caddis in shallow, grassy and weedy areas.
Calm and cool conditions often bring on reliable midge hatches. Trout will often continually rise well when this occurs, making for some fantastic fly fishing sport.
Windlanes quite often feature and provide a concentrated food source. Loch style techniques are very productive, even during sporadic feeding activity. Remarkable polaroiding opportunities can be found during bright, calm conditions.
As things warm up in the spring and through the summer, prolific mayfly hatches are a regular feature. In the autumn, beetle, jassid and ant falls provide spectacular sport.
