Fly Fishing

As wild trout fisheries become rarer around the world, Tasmania's self-sustaining wild trout stocks in wild places are delivering the thrill of the hunt that fly fishers are chasing. Tasmania's crystal-clear waters bring the trout closer to the angler, making the fish easily visible, but  our wild trout may elude even the most experienced angler, testing both patience and stealth. Tasmania has earned a reputation for some of the best sight-fishing in the world with many fly fishers visiting just for this reason. Tasmania has twice hosted the World Fly Fishing Championships, proving the lakes, rivers and streams (and the wild trout within) offer the perfect environment to test the skills of the best fly fishers in the world.

What makes us unordinary?

  • Arguably the purest strain of wild brown trout on earth
  • Worldclass sight-fishing
  • The genuine and unpretentious characters of our fly fishing guides
