Opening of the trout season – Northern opportunities
Launceston based anglers and those living in the north of the state have a large range of options within an hour’s drive of the city. With the weather looking bleak for the Central Plateau this opening weekend it is worth considering some of the opportunities in lower elevations.
With rivers on the rise there will be a lot of opportunities for anglers fishing the Macquarie, Meander, St. Patricks and South Esk rivers. Fishing these rivers whilst they are rising and spilling over the banks can be very productive early in the trout season. Casting a fly, soft plastic or worms to trout as they forage over newly flooded ground can be very exciting and rewarding.
