Pure water, clean air, and vast numbers of truly wild trout make this island an attractive and exciting destination catering for a wide range of angling experiences. Tasmania has one of the purest strains of wild brown trout found anywhere in the world, which makes them a true challenge for all anglers. Brown trout have established self-sustaining populations in most of the state’s rivers, lakes and estuaries and are fished with equal success by lure and fly. Tasmania’s brown trout season runs from August to April. Rainbow season runs from October to May.
