Sea Run Trout
Mid Sea-Run Season Report
Sea-run trout fishing this year got off to a cracking start in most areas, with the majority of anglers employing nearly every trout fishing technique to secure fish in local estuaries statewide.
Even those anglers fishing the "off-season" lower down in our estuaries for sea-trout commented on the number of fish moving in early August.

SCIENTIFIC ANGLER's VISIT TASMANIA
Fresh from the USA, Scientific Angler's fly line gurus Jeff Pierce and Andrew Bosway will be talking at Clarendon on the South Esk River this Saturday August 01 at 10am. These guy's are the brain's behind Scientific Angler's and they geek-out on fly lines that result in more fish. Understandably they live and breath their work and passion for flyfishing. Scientific Angler's have long been the leaders in fly line innovation. In more recent years they have created a stir with their revolutionary Textured and Sharkskin coated fly lines. Tapers, coatings, sink rates, grain weights - it can all get confusing. Much of the marketing material for today's fly lines focuses on the technological mumbo jumbo without really delving into how the right fly line can help you're success on the water. Jeff and Andrew will bash down those barriers and tell you in real fishing terms how a particular line will (or won't!) result in more fish in the net. This is a presentation not to be missed and there will be prizes during the day! We hope you can make it.
At Clarendon - through Evandale. (see map below)

Bosnia 2015 Final Report
It has been a week now since the end of the world championships in Bosnia and Herzegovina. To say that the entire Australian team is disappointed with the end result would be an understatement. There was not a lot of conversation in the mini van on the way to Zagreb as we were all pondering what went wrong. I have a few thoughts that I will share with you now.

Fishing on the Wild Side
Fishing on the Wild Side
Mike Fry doesn’t only live on the Wild Side of Tasmania, but also goes fishing in probably the wildest boat ever to troll for trout—certainly in Tasmania.
When your mate says ‘What are you doing tomorrow, want to come up the Gordon for the night?’ it would be pretty hard to say anything else except “you bet” and start checking out your tackle box and packing your overnight bag. But if your mate was Troy Grining and he wanted to give his new 52ft, high speed cruiser a run across Macquarie Harbour, test the new onboard dory with a chance of landing a nice Gordon River Brown you would have to feel privileged. I didn’t say anything about getting on my hands and knees and kissing his feet…just having a lend of ya’ but I did feel very appreciative.
