Meander River Angler Access

November 24th, 2010 by Daniel | Click to leave a comment »

Just a quick news flash – As I quickly drove over the Meander River at Knights Bridge yesterday, two freshly installed Angler Access Points were noted. Well done to the IFS and AAT, and I look forward to the formal opening and details of the Meander Angler Access project. With environmental flows all year round, the Meander is back as one of our greatest fly fishing rivers, and improved access is great for recreational anglers and guides alike.

Once the Angler Access points are announced, look out for an update of our free Google Fly Fishing Maps.

Commonwealth Fly Fishing Championships Tasmania 2012

November 22nd, 2010 by Daniel | 1 Comment - click to view »

This just arrived in my Inbox:

I just wanted to confirm that the 2012 Commonwealths will be hosted by Fly Fish Australia in Tasmania in 2012. Planning is well under way and all the details are available on the web site http://www.flyfishaustralia.com.au or through our mirrored site http://www.2012commonwealths.com.au. We are also hosting the 2011 Oceanias in NSW in the previous year. Its mirrored site access details are 2011oceanisa.com.au

Both competitions will be great for tourism, fly fishing generally and of course will showcase our wonderful fisheries and sponsors.

Regards,
Stephen Chatterton
President – Fly Fish Australia Inc.

Fly fishing a stones throw from Launceston

October 25th, 2010 by Daniel | Click to leave a comment »

The fly fishing around Launceston has begun to build up for the season. By October 17th, big mayfly hatches had started on the South Esk, and massive beetle falls were occuring during the warmest periods of the month at Brumbys Creek. The upper North Esk and St Pats have had their water levels moderate, and the early morning Meander River smut fishing have begun. It’s a great time to be out, fishing with mates.

Flies of the moment: Fastwater Dun and Ostrich Herl nymph, available from http://www.inseasonflyfishing.com

It’s mayfly time..

October 14th, 2010 by Daniel | Click to leave a comment »

The mayfly season has started with small hatches on the Macquarie, South Esk and North Esk rivers…

Changeable spring days have been stiffling the hatches, but the red spinners are showing, along with beatids, during warmer muggy days. Flying ants have also been on the menu, along with lots of mayfly and stonefly nymphs. Thirty percent of fish are now coming to dry flies.

In the highlands, Arthurs Lake is fishing well for tailing trout as water floods into new tree and sag-covered grounds, and the Nineteen Lagoons region of the Western Lakes is at perfect levels for tailing trout. Snow is predicted on the mountains for Friday and Saturday, but Sunday could be perfect for finding fish covering new ground.
