#5 of Tasmanian Top Ten

19 Lagoons
 
Tasmania is blessed with unrivalled trout fishing and anglers are spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting waters to fish. The 19 Lagoons area in the central highlands is a standout because it provides that iconic wilderness experience while remaining readily accessible to 2 wheel drive cars in all but the wettest conditions. The intimate rivers and lakes with their crystal clear waters provide easy walking and outstanding sight fishing, a well presented fly is the most effective method of tricking one of these finicky fish but be warned these trout have excellent eyesight and once they’ve seen you the game is over.
 
With thanks to the team at Hook, Line and Sinker.

Been going to Tassie to trout fishing over Melb Cup wknd for the last 14 years straight. Just love the lakes and the diversity of the Central Lakes area. Of course my Mitsubishi gets me there.
