Why Use a tasmanian Fly fishing Guide
Tasmania’s trout fishery is a challenging one. It challenges you with weather conditions. It challenges you with a range of fishing locations. It challenges you with access. It challenges you with major seasonal influences. It challenges you with fly choice. And, of course, it will challenge you if you haven’t fly fished before.
Sure, if time is on your side and if patience is one of your virtues then you may just be able to do it on your own. But if you want some of the guess work to be taken out of the challenge, then a local Tasmanian fishing guide is a great alternative. You may want my help on your first day before embarking on your own pathway, I’ll give you as much help as I can. If you want a few days, looking at a number of waters and fishing styles, I can help you with that too.
Don’t want to bring your own gear, or don’t want to invest in gear before you are confident that fly fishing is your thing, then I can get you over that hurdle as well, with all the gear you might want.
Oh, and of course, for those of you who would prefer to fish out of a boat, I’ve got that covered to - with a great, purpose-built fly fishing boat - a late model Quintrex Hornet.
our Commitment
That’s pretty simple. I will do everything that I can to give you the best possible experience on the day. My satisfaction comes from the enjoyment that fishers experience during a day on the water with me. Ideally, that will include the thrill of landing a wild Tasmanian brown trout, but every day will be much more than that. Come and see.
our Experience
Nick May - “My best calculation says I started fishing more than 50 years ago. As a kid much of my time was either spent fishing or gathering bait to sell to pay for my fishing gear. I was, for many years, a saltwater angler - a rock fisher, a beach fisher and an estuary fisher. Dad occasionally took me out into the freshwater - angling for trout with garden worms was my introduction to trout fishing.
A move to Tasmania in 1990 was the trigger for a heightened interest in trout fishing and it wasn’t long before I was introduced to the art (yes it is an art) of fly fishing. And that has been my fishing obsession ever since. In recent years I have taken years of obsessive recreational fly fishing experience and invested that in becoming a guide. My passion as a recreational angler remains and, like every fly fisher, my education continues every day. I now understand much more about what I previously took for granted.”
