Just one more cast – fly fishing Tasmania

We’ve all said it: ‘just one more cast’. And there’s probably no other time that you mean it less, than the last day of the season. With a couple months of quiet time ahead, and the odd monster shadow cruising through the high-flows of autumn, that last cast can often go-on for hours. So imagine the thrill if your last cast was this huge Tasmanian brown trout, landed by RiverFly 1864 customer ‘Scottish’ John. What fly, you ask? Our 1864 Shrek variant. When did he catch it? Sunday, at 4pm following a rain storm, as it lurked in a flooded gutter. It was our last cast of the season.
