The past fortnight has seen predominantly ripper weather for fly fishing in Tasmania. With El Nino in full swing, things are dry, but we’ve had tonnes of sight fishing. Mayfly are out on quite a few of the rivers, and a single Black Spinner does the trick much of the time. We’ll be heading out to the Western Lakes at the end of the week for our first trip, so stay tuned as we look for spring tailers and early-season beetle feeders. Have a ripper week!
