We are incredibly fortunate in Tasmania to have a resource known as Angler Access. These are a bunch of dedicated beats and access points formed and maintained with the angler in mind. Much of this access is located on privately owned land and through the work of Anglers Alliance, both Tasmanians and visiting anglers have…
It’s been a while between posts but not fishing, thankfully! I recently hooked up with cobbers Laneo and Nick for a float session on the famed Macquarie River. When we met near Longford, the logistics of where to leave vehicles kicked in. You see, the mission consisted of three blokes with three cars and one needed…

Finally, after three months of closure, the brown trout season is upon us. We were welcomed with a mild day with sunshine even poking it’s nose out from time to time! My wife and I recently welcomed our son Mason into the world so I knew any opening day plans would be brief. It worked…
