2010-2011 Trout Fishing Season Tasmania
The 2010-11 angling season starts on Saturday 7 August, with the
traditional opening of brown trout waters. Rainbow waters will remain
closed until Saturday 2 October this year.
Get a Licence!
You require a current angling licence to fish at any open inland water
in Tasmania (including farm dams on private property), except at a
registered private fishery where you generally pay to fish. You can
purchase or renew an angling licence by visiting a licence agent (at
major tackle stores or any Service Tasmania shop). Licences can also be
purchased or renewed online at www.ifs.tas.gov.au.
Angling licences range in price from a full season adult licence at
$66.50 to a short term weekend licence for $20. The full season licence
offers anglers the best value for money; being a 12 month licence with
the opportunity to fish every day of the year; and with significant
discounts for juniors (80% less at $12.00), pensioners (45% less at
$36.50) and seniors (25% off at $53.00).
Other benefits include the convenience of being mailed a renewal form
each year before the start of the season, which contains a durable
licence card. The Service also targets full season licence holders with
information and special offers such as the automatic entry into
competitions to win prizes. This year, we are repeating the offer of
free entry to the Salmon Ponds on presentation of a full season licence
card and also a Voucher, mailed out with the renewal notice, for a free
weekend licence to ‘Take a Mate Fishing’.
