Fly Fishing at a Private Tasmanian Fishery

Based on your travel plans the Highland Fly will put together a trout fishing package visiting the lakes of the Central Highlands. Pickup and drop off can be included, whether you are staying in Hobart or in accommodation in Miena in the Central Highlands. Each day of the package includes guiding, equipment and catering.

28 Gates is a private fishery in the picturesque Derwent Valley, about one hour's drive from Hobart. With four lakes stocked with brown, rainbow, brook and tiger trout it is a great destination for experienced and beginner fishers alike. For beginners it provides a great opportunity to practice basic casting skills in a setting where you are very likely to cast to visible fish. Obviously for experienced fishers, the sight fishing to large fish is similarly a highlight.
