Sight Fishing For Brown Trout in the Tasmanian Wilderness
RiverFly 1864 provides everything for the ultimate trout angling experience. Situated near Tasmania’s Western Lakes, anglers stay in simple, yet comfortable huts nestled within a UNESCO Wilderness World Heritage Area. With only a handful of operators granted access to this area, RiverFly has the privilege to guide anglers in this incredible area. This part of the world is famous for its sight fishing opportunities for brown trout. These trout patrol the sides and shores of the area’s numerous lakes, creating a situation not dissimilar from flats fishing for bonefish where presentation and getting the fly out quickly is the name of the game. RiverFly 1864 is one of the finest operations in Tasmania and anglers will delight in the level of accommodations and personal service.

Fishing
General Information
The fishing at RiverFly 1864 consists of sight fishing for cruising brown trout along lake shorelines. This style of fishing is very similar to that of flat fishing in places such as the flats of the Bahamas where anglers employ hunting and stalking techniques. Dry flies are the norm and anglers will have to be sure to make a quick and skillful presentation. Most trout in this area average 2.5 pounds and trout as large as 17 pounds have even been landed! A typical day of fishing consists of 5 kilometers of hiking and fishing around Lake Ina. For anglers that want to venture farther beyond Lake Ina, numerous mountain lakes lay waiting to be explored.
