Fly Fishing Tasmania

Tasmania truly has world class trout fishing.

The unique environment of the Western Lakes World Heritage area is filled with pristine waterways scattered amongst a temperate environment.

Tasmania’s rivers stand out too with delightful small streams such as St Patrick’s River, Liffey River, Lake River, parts of the North and South Esk Rivers; mayfly hatches on meadow streams such as the Macquarie River, South Esk; cool clear tail race waters such as Brumbys Creek.

These waters are diverse; many have sandy bottoms, rich weed beds and rocky shorelines. Vegetation varying from alpine scrub to dense forested areas to farmlands.

Whatever your fly fishing skill and experience level, it's always exciting to learn more, hear new information and share techniques and we hope you will find something within these pages that's useful to you.
