Fishing
The best fly fishing can be had from late December through to the end of the season. It contains lots of medium-sized brown and rainbow trout that eat a fly enthusiastically. Nymph fishing is important early in the season and through the deeper runs and pockets. When dry fly fishing, drifting small dark mayfly, and natural coloured caddis patterns through most water will produce fish. Late in the season, you can also find some good hopper fishing, but make sure you keep your grasshopper patterns on the smaller side.
Access
Angler access can be quite challenging, so ensure you check the Inland Fisheries Service Angler Access Map for the Huon area to find safe access to the water. There can be some dense bush to navigate through when moving up and down the river so keep this in mind before heading to the river.
