Do you need a fly fishing licence in Tasmania?

Obtaining a fishing licence is a requirement to fly fish in Tasmania, and also plays a crucial role in conservation and fisheries management. 

The funds generated from licence sales support vital conservation projects, habitat restoration, and fish stocking programs. 

By purchasing a licence, anglers contribute to maintaining healthy fish populations and ensuring sustainable fishing opportunities for future generations.

Things to Know Before Venturing Out

Before heading out on your fishing trip, it's important to be prepared. 

Make sure you are familiar with the local fishing regulations, including bag and size limits for different species. Check the weather forecast to ensure safe conditions on the water. It's also a good idea to bring appropriate gear and supplies, such as sunscreen, insect repellent, and plenty of water. Understanding the specific habitats and behaviours of the fish you're targeting can also improve your chances of a successful catch.

When planning your fishing trip, there are several essentials to check to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. Verify that your fishing licence is up to date and easily accessible. Inspect your fishing gear to make sure everything is in working order, including rods, reels, and tackle - which you can buy from our online fly fishing shop.

It's also important to check your boat or any other equipment you'll be using to ensure it's in good condition.
