Currawong Lakes Fly Fishing

Currawong Lakes, the premier destination for fly-fishing in Tasmania, is excited to announce a local fishing event at Lake Leake. This event promises to be a fantastic opportunity for all fishing enthusiasts to showcase their skills and enjoy the stunning surroundings of our beautiful lakes.

When it comes to dry fly-fishing, Currawong Lakes is unparalleled. Our property is home to a wide variety of aquatic and terrestrial insect life, ensuring exceptional hatches that attract our prized wild Brown and Rainbow Trout. These fish are self-sustaining and can be found in our creeks, providing an authentic and unforgettable Tassie trout experience.

Regardless of the wind direction or weather conditions, you can enjoy dry fly-fishing on any given day at one of our three lakes. Late October marks the regular hatches of Red Spinners, which continue until the end of the Tasmanian trout season in late March. This is truly a quintessential fishing experience that any angler would be thrilled to be a part of.

As summer arrives, the lakes come alive with leaping fish, thanks to the blue damsel flies. Witnessing these heart-pumping actions is a true delight for any fishing enthusiast. Our carefully managed Trout population ensures a healthy head of fish in a range of weight classes. From an average of two and a half to three pounds, up to trophy class specimens, our fish are fat, feisty, and ready to put up a fight!

For those who may need a little guidance or assistance, our in-house fly-fishing guide is always available to provide advice on daily fish and insect activity. They can also recommend the appropriate patterns and even offer tuition if you're looking to improve your skills. Additionally, if you're seeking a fully guided trout fishing experience, we highly recommend Scott Murphy from Tasmania Fly Fishing. He is an expert in the field and will enhance your fishing adventure.

At Currawong Lakes, we take pride in being a fly-fishing only destination. Our registered private fishery means that no fishing license is required, so you can fully immerse yourself in the joy of fishing without any additional formalities.

Join us at Currawong Lakes for an unforgettable fishing event. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, this is an opportunity you won't want to miss. Get ready to cast your line, reel in some impressive trout, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
