Tasmania December/January 2014/15

[mazman]

Hey guys just found out that my family is going on a trip to tassie around christmas time this year. Not sure how long we'll be there for but we will be moving around the state. It has already been decided that we'll be fishing and we would definitely like to target trout and bream at some point but i'm not sure what else there is to offer for landbase fishing.
to sum it up I'm looking for ideas of where to go and what can be caught there also any info on other activities would be hugely appreciated.

Cheers Alex

Hopefully I can help with a few suggestions Alex. If you're chasing bream, then the best bream rivers are to be found along the East Coast of Tassie from below St Helens onwards. Soft plastics and Hardbody lures are very popular on the bream. As for trout fishing, every river that you come across will have brown trout in them, with some rivers also carrying both brown and rainbow trout. If you're coming over on the Spirit of Tasmania check out the information area on the boat I'm sure you'll find some brochures there on fishing Tasmania. Once on land then call into any one of the Information Centres around the state as they carry a variety of Angler's Access Brochures on trout fishing the rivers around the state. A trout license must be purchased to fish any water for trout, salt water fishing is free. Blade spinners, hard body (Rapalas CD-1, f-3, f-5), soft plastics all work well on the rivers and lakes here. If you need any more info Alex, feel free to ask mate. Will be glad to help were I can. You can also check out a site that I'm on here in Tassie too, it will be helpful too as it has plenty of info on it. http://www.fishingboatingtasmania.com.a ... tion=forum" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

That wouldn't be a problem Alex, I'm in the North of the state at Sheffield. PM me any time to work out something when your trip gets closer mate.

Swan River, just north of Swansea, the time of the year you are going, I reckon you would be able to catch a Black Back out of there! :fishing:

Hey Alex,

While in St Helen do pay a visit to the Scamander River .. awesome place to fish .. My first cast was a 38cm bream before I could even rig up the second rod .. Definitely beats Pato River hands down :icon_lolz:

Enjoy the trip .. Tassie a fantastic place .. just a tag cold and windy though
