Fishing the Tamar River
Launceston, Australia Phone: Not AvailableAbout
The best fishing is below Windermere and Rosevears where the river deepens somewhat. Once you get to the Batman Bridge, the fishing changes remarkably. This section of the river is narrow, deep and features very strong currents and tidal flow. A common belief is that the deep holes in the river are where all the fish are, however, the secret to the Tamar is in the shallows. Water less then 10 metres deep gives up the most fish. Use some berley and then drop down some baits, and you never know what you will pull up. The most prized fish is snapper, and perhaps the least loved is the rock cod. In between these, it is possible to catch a myriad of fish species.
