Tasmania received great world wide exposure during and
following the Commonwealth Fly fishing championships held on Tasmanian waters
in February this year resulting in a surge of national and international
anglers booking a Tasmania trip to experience this exceptional trout fishery.
The Tasmanian team won the event convincingly beating
competitors from all parts of the world including a “bone fishing” team from
Christmas Island who had never left their home or flown in a plane and had
certainly never seen a trout but all were exceptional fly anglers and were
later presented with the friendly team award.
The Tasmanian 2012 – 2013 trout fishing season opened 4th of
August 2012 and will continue through to the end of April 2013. With good
autumn and winter rains producing high river flows and some record lake levels,
both local and interstate anglers are anticipating one of the best trout
fishing season for many years.
What is attracting anglers to Tasmania is the variety of
trout waters from lightly fished rivers with large numbers of wild fish to
thousands of pristine stillwaters in the Western Lakes area which would take a
lifetime to explore.
Also the many variations of fly fishing available and the
hugh range of hatching bugs throughout the season makes fishing Tasmania a real
challenge for any angler.
