Get some insight from local Tasmanian fishing guide Matt Stone on the essential gear to bring when visiting for a fly fishing adventure.

In our latest video and blog post, get some insight from local Tasmanian fishing guide Matt Stone on the essential gear to bring when visiting for a fly fishing adventure. Having just returned from another trip to the Central Highlands, we felt it fitting to share some helpful tips for anyone planning a summer fly fishing trip in Tasmania. Despite the warmer season, we still emphasize the importance of layering due to the changeable conditions, especially in the highlands where temperatures can drop overnight. With this in mind and as a summary, our key items to pack include:

  • Layered Clothing: To stay warm during sudden temperature drops.
  • Hats: Either peaked or wide-brimmed for sun protection
  • Polarised Sunglasses: Essential for better visibility in the water and protection from the sun
  • Sun Buff: A versatile piece for extra sun protection, especially useful if you forget to reapply sunscreen.
