The Forgotten Double Taper
Andy Puyans
Although I have fished extensively for most fresh and salt water species with a fly, I keep going back to the Trout as the perfect fly rod species. Trout challenge us by their natural wariness, while feeding on an ever-changing menu of aquatic and land born insects, together with other water born yummies from baitfish to leeches.

Tamar Snapper Research
About 18 months ago Simon Conron of Victorian Marine and Freshwater Resources Institute asked if I would be interested in filling out a fishing diary for him so they could gain some information on Tasmanian snapper. Over a period of time we have learnt quite a bit and also have gained some valuable knowledge on this precious fish.

Luring bigger flatheadFlathead, we know are one of our most loved fish. They are the backbone of Tasmania’s recreational marine fishery and as table fare they are considered by many as second to none. Fresh or frozen it doesn’t seem to matter too much; as nuggets, fillets or barbequed you can’t ruin flathead.

Winter WarehouDuring the winter months a lot of anglers pack their rods and reels up and go and do some much needed gardening and house maintenance which normally has been neglected over the summer months. But all you anglers out there, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Blue warehou can be caught throughout the winter months. They are great fighters and excellent on the table and in my opinion are the best eating fish in the estuary when eaten fresh.

East Coast Winter Fishing FunBy Patrick Sullivan
It would be untrue to say the winter in Tassie isn’t cold because it is!!! But given that you dress accordingly it is possible to stay warm, catch a few fish and more importantly have fun doing it. Many people see winter as a time to stay home and rug up. While those that do make the effort to get out there and have a fish are often rewarded with more than just a few fish. |
