Latest Anglers Access Project completed on the Meander River

The latest Angler Access Project has been completed for the Meander River under funding from the Inland Fisheries Service and Federal Government, provided through Anglers Alliance Tasmania. It follows the other successful river access projects on the River Leven, Brumbys Creek and the Lake, North Esk and Macquarie rivers.

As with the previous projects, the work on the Meander has resulted in improved access for anglers to sections of the river which provide excellent angling potential. It will not only enhance the attraction to the area but also add to the reputation of Tasmania’s northern rivers as providing some of the State’s premier trout fishing locations.

This project is particularly timely for the Meander River because of improved fish quality and quantity since the completion of the Meander Dam, which has resulted in consistent flows in the river below the Dam. The combination of great fishing in the newly created Huntsman Lake, nearby Brushy Lagoon and Four Springs Lake provides a significant recreation and tourism opportunity for the Meander Valley region.

The Meander River project has involved the installation of over 25 fence stiles and crossings, dozens of electric fence insulators, warning and information signs, steps, gates, footbridges, paths and tracks between Hadspen and Meander providing foot access to approximately 30km of river.

The Meander River Access Brochure is now available via the website or through tackle shops. It contains a high quality map detailing all the access locations and angling information.
