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.
With the diversity of Tasmania’s trout fishery, there are a few essential pieces of equipment needed to maximise your chances of success when fly fishing in Tasmania.
Generally 5-6wt rods are suitable, along with floating and sinking fly lines, a range of dry and wet flies and other equipment such as a good pair of waders and polarized sunglasses for spotting trout.
