THE TRIP

I will pick you up at the airport or hotel and whisk you away to the Tasmanian high country using my toyota landcruiser 4wd vehicle. You will be accommodated in my cabin situated at Little Pine lagoon-( see Hiccup Hall).
Hotel or lodge accommodation can also be arranged. Little Pine is one of the best mayfly waters in the world. From our base at The Pine we can fish most of the many productive waters within half an hour's travelling, ie Western Lakes, Great Lake, Arthurs Lake, Penstock Lagoon, Bronte Lagoon, Dee Lagoon and Lake Sorell to name but a few.
I can introduce you to spotting tails and fins, polaroiding, fishing to mayfly feeders, midgers and wind lane feeders. I can teach you the art of loch style fishing with multiple flies. I will teach you the basics of fly casting if you are a beginner or show you how to double haul, mend, roll, side cast, etc, etc if you are proficient.
But the most important skill when fishing dry fly on a lake is the ability to cast INTO the wind. You will be amazed how easy this is with a couple of lessons.
