Currawong Lakes offers a premium fly fishing experience across three breathtaking freshwater lakes. Thriving populations of wild Brown and Rainbow Trout, and exceptional hatches of insect life, create a thrilling challenge for novice and experienced anglers alike.
Currawong Lake
The largest lake on the property, offering two distinct habitats for true trophy fish. Long and narrow, one shore is characterised by tussocky paddock, while the other is protected by native forest, with wild Brown Trout tailing the edges and shallows.
Long Marsh Lake
Boasting 32 acres of freshwater, Long Marsh Lake accommodates the highest self-sustaining population of fish on the property. Prolific shoreline weed growth hosts millions of midges, mayflies and damsels, creating an environment ripe for the angler.
Lake Macquarie
The smallest lake on the property, Lake Macquarie enjoys protection from the wind and regular glass-out conditions. Large fish are clearly visible as they patrol the deeper sections of the lake, well within casting range for the dry fly purist.
Booking an experienced and accredited guide such as Trout Tales, can greatly increase the enjoyment and success of your fly fishing journey in Tasmania.
With so many trout fishing destinations, it can often be difficult for anglers new to Tasmania to decipher where is best at different times of the year.
A trout fishing guide can assist you with the right location, gear selection and weather/water conditions to look for to successfully fly fish in Tasmania.
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.
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.
