Fly Fishing Demonstrations in Bothwell
We will also be holding multiple "introduction to fly fishing" sessions at the festival throughout the day.
The sessions will run for approximately 90 minutes and cover all aspects of fly fishing including the gear we use, how to cast, fly selection and some of the different techniques we use.
There will also be the chance to ask one of our experienced guides any questions that you may have about trout fly fishing in Tasmania.
