Adventure Tips
Bring insect repellent
The lowland rivers attract midges and mosquitoes during warmer months—pack effective insect spray to stay comfortable.
Wear polarized sunglasses
Polarized lenses help reduce glare on the water, making it easier to spot trout and protect your eyes from UV rays.
Check fishing license requirements
Tasmanian government fishing licenses are required but not included—ensure you have one before your trip.
Dress in layers
Weather can shift quickly near the water; layering lets you adjust for warmth, moisture, and sun protection.
