Rivers and streams such as the Mersey River, Meander River, Brumby’s Creek, South Esk River and the Macquarie River all provide great fly fishing prospects throughout the trout fishing season.
You can read about these trout fisheries in detail in our blog post Trout Fishing Locations near Launceston.
For dry flies a selection of mayfly imitations such as Possum Emergers as well as other general flies such as Red Tags and Royal Wolfs is a good start. Whilst wet flies such as Woolly Buggers and Streamers are consistently productive.
The main trout fishing season runs from August until April each year and we have a wide range of fly fishing options available throughout this time. Early season fly fishing in Tasmania can be a great experience and wet fly fishing can be extremely effective on many of our lakes.
We've written a specific blog post on the current trout fly fishing season in Tasmania, and if you're ready to start your next Trout Tale - we have fly fishing packages available year round in Tasmania.
Trout Tales is run by passionate fly fisher and proud Tasmanian, Matt Stone.
"For over fifteen years I’ve developed my passion for fly fishing, wild trout and for the amazing places experienced in Tasmania along the way. After many years of early morning starts, long days on the water and endless lessons learned from unforgiving trout - I have accumulated a deep knowledge of fly fishing and respect for how Tasmania is truly a special place to experience."
