Publications and Websites

There is a wealth of information on trout fishing in Tasmania available via the internet, books and magazines. There have been many great books written on trout fishing in Tasmania dating back to the early days of the fishery in the late 1800s.

For specific contemporary guide books there is: Tasmanian Trout Waters, by Greg French which is now in its second edition (released in 2011), which provides a comprehensive guide to individual waters including fishing maps; A Guide to Fresh & Salt Water Fishing Around Tasmania, by Mike Stevens, which was published in 1999, and provides an extensive guide to fresh and salt water fishing techniques, locations and species throughout Tasmania; and Trout Fishing Guide to Tasmania, by Don Gilmour published in 2000.

The following table provides a list of useful fishing publishers, their magazines and websites that contain relevant fishing information, reports and forums.
