SEASON HIGHLIGHTS

FIRST BROWN TROUT FLYFISHING
 

Vernon & Zach Woods Lake

Hi Bob
Zach and I had a fantastic experience trout fly fishing for the first time in the central highlands of Tasmania. Your expertise and patience enabled at least Zack to land four magnificent brown trout . From driving through snow to fishing in crisp mountain air on this great lake and the thrill of the trout on the end of the line

WOW ! need to come back soon. This was Zack’s birthday and one he will remember for a long time and never let me forget I didn’t land mine. Always next time. - We highly recommend Fish wild Tasmania with Bob McKinley. Thanks Bob Zach and Vernon - August 2013.
Vernon & Zach Woods Lake

We had some interesting trips into Woods Lake this season.  This day was a cracker despite the snow on the way in there.

Vernon was generous enough to bring Zach (grandson) to Tasmania for his 15th birthday and they spent a day fly fishing for first time in the Central Highlands.

Amazingly Zach landed 4 good brow trout and Vernon got one to the boat - almost. A great day and fantastic effort Zach.

Happy birthday from Bob And Lyn in Hobart.

 

 

Matt and Will tried fly fishing for the first time at Woods Lake and this
wild brown trout was the first to come to hand for the day.

 

 

 

Several Tall ships stopped in Hobart for a week before setting off to Sydney for the naval centenary,

We spent a morning on the water getting video for a 1 hour documentary celebrating the arrival of trout eggs to Tasmania  150 years ago,

The actual anniversary is May 2014 but we hope to make it a year long celebration.
 

Peter and Anna from Townsville Qld. gave fly fishing a go for the first time in early August just after the start of the season and Peter was very happy to polaroid, cast to, hook, land and release four good brown trout on his first day fly fishing.  Anna was not so impressed when at least 3 good fish missed her fly but it was a sensational day and as this was their first go at fly fishing they all were impressed with the result.

        

          Rob had his best trout trip ever in Tasmania.

          Apart from a number of trout at Arthurs Lake on Day one
          he caught these great fish on Day two.
