Rod & Fly has access to a private trout fishery in the picture-perfect Huon Valley on the edge of the Southwest Conservation area. The fishery, a one-hour drive from Hobart, offers prime Tasmanian trout fishing for both beginners and those with experience.

Plump Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout and brown trout inhabit a series of ponds – from small to over two hectares. The fish vary in size from 300 gm to over 6 kg and all ponds are fed from the pristine waters of the Little Denison River.

The fishery is an ideal setting to test newly learnt skills and casting techniques, so that when you are challenged by a slurping brown trout in the wild, you will have the confidence to make that perfect cast.
