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.
A fly fishing license is required.
The Inland Fisheries Service requires all anglers wanting to fish any public trout waters to hold a current angling license. Licenses can be purchased online through the IFS website, over the phone and in some fishing shops throughout Tasmania.
Tasmania’s main trout fishing season runs from the first weekend in August to the last weekend in April. During this time, most trout fishing waters are open and good numbers of trout can be caught using a variety of techniques to suit the time of the year and conditions on the day.
