Fly Fishing

One of Tasmania’s great wilderness properties, Currawong Lakes, provides guests at Saffire with a premium dry fly fishing experience. The property boasts exceptional hatches of aquatic and terrestrial insect life. Dry fly fishing is available on most days at a location on one of three lakes, whatever the wind direction or weather conditions.

Of particular note are the hatches of Red Spinners which start regularly in late October and continue on until the end of the Tasmanian trout season in late March. While this particular spot is known by keen anglers worldwide, this is a unique opportunity to learn how to fly fish in a fun and safe environment.

Personal tutorials are available upon request. Additional charges apply. Included in the experience are your transfers and all equipment.
