In 1839 the first brown trout were released in Tasmania; these wild fish have bred ever since. Arguably the purest stock in the world, Tasmania’s isolation and abundance of perfect conditions make highland fishing a dream location. Over 30 lakes and 6 streams within minutes of the lodge give you access to the wildest brown trout nature can find. Local lakes have rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon and trophy size brown trout. Bag limits of 12 beautiful big wild fish per day apply. Average weights run 2 to 4 pounds. It is the experience that is truly different. Tasmania’s specialty is ‘sight fishing’ where you spot and then stalk a specific fish; tremendously exciting and like nowhere else on the planet. You’ll be guided by experienced local guides with all the equipment furnished. There is good fishing between September and March, but from November to January you will need to book guides in advance. You will be welcome to try out some extraordinary fishing rods with our compliments. With access to some of the best guides in Australia, the fishing will suit all levels of experience.
