Red Tag Trout Tours

On the fly in Tasmania

Winter winners

With the new season nearly upon us, it’s a good time to remember that even in the winter months there are still some good locations to go to and some good fish to catch. 

Some of our private fisheries put on an outstanding show for the angler. Phil caught four beautiful rainbows recently (and lost a couple more) even though the temperature was down a little and the odd shower came across.

He had a great day and so did I … I accidentally got in on the action, showing Phil a ‘Steeple’ cast, I presented the fly and as I went to hand over the rod, I was on …  another nice rainbow to the net.  It’s one of the hazards of guiding when you demonstrate something in the water with the trout about.

Great Lake Tie-in

For those that may be interested, the Great lake Tie-In is on once again from 10am until 3pm on Saturday, October 12. Hope to see you there

Workshops are back

Following on from recent seasons Red Tag Trout Tours, in conjunction with Shannon and Ken Orr from Orrsome Trout Tours, will once again be running a series of Beginner/Novice Fly Fishing Workshops throughout the 2024/2025 Season.

These will again be held at Herne Lodge in the Central Highlands which is a private lake with a beautiful little cabin on the lake’s edge. The lake is full of wild brown trout and generally a day’s fishing there reaps some great rewards. All gear is supplied from rods, reels, waders, flies as well as a BBQ lunch and beverages for the day.

At just $325.00 per person for the day this is great value. So if you are interested, or you know of anyone who may be, please book your spot to make sure you are locked in. Please note on the attached Brochure that there will be one Workshop per month and there are a couple of Sundays in this mix.

As usual there will be lucky door prizes for each Workshop with a grand prize at the end of the season for one lucky angler. Prizes are supplied by our great Sponsors: Hurley’s Fly Fishing, Spot On Fishing Connection, Williams Outdoors, E J Todd, TFO and TONIC Sunglasses.

Hope to see you there.

Prizewinning fishing …

Recently I had the pleasure of guiding two lucky US anglers who won a prize in one of their Association Auctions for a day’s guiding on our Midlands Rivers.

Justin and Joshua are members of Trout Unlimited and were finally able to get to Tasmania this March to take up their prize.

Although the weather was again quite nice and things looked good to begin with, the fishing was very sparse.

Still, both guys loved the countryside and the experience and many a big tale was told that night over dinner.

It was a pleasure to be part of the prize list for Trout Unlimited and Red Tag looks forward to possible future involvement.

Tight fishing

Another couple from the US is out to enjoy our wild brown trout adventures.

Jim & Kim had a lovely time in Tasmania and although the fishing was at times a bit tight, they did manage to snag a few nice wild browns on their trip.

Elusive wild browns …

Neil and Katie wanted to try out some river and stream fishing in our Midlands and picked a beautiful couple of days weather-wise, unfortunately, our wild browns were hard to come by.

Still, the experience was well worth the venture.

Busy season

February and March are certainly busy periods for Red Tag and this season has been no exception.

Several anglers from the US have made the journey to Tasmania and taken time to fish for our beautiful brown trout.

Jim and Shellie from Colorado spent three days searching on our waterways with some mixed results however they thoroughly loved the scenery and the places they fished.

The sunny and hot conditions kept a lot of fish down deep but as Jim said, “The experience was well worth it.” I hope to see you both again one day.

Returning for more

Peter and Elizabeth have been long time clients with Red Tag over the years and 2024 saw them back to do what they love doing … fly fishing.

Over three days they had varying waters from private lakes to running streams and although the weather made the first day a bit hard they did nonetheless pick up a few but it was the last couple of days when things came together very nicely.

From a nice trout with a Cormorant strike in its side, to a snake dozing on the path, to eagles soaring above … it’s a tough life but someone has to do it.

Peter and Elizabeth love their dry fly fishing and the final day saw four beauties caught, easily that many lost and fish appearing everywhere.

Just fishing the margins with some intelligent casting saw the results begin.

Another great trip and no doubt they will be back for more.

Tasmania offers a delightful and fascinating trout fishery, with its clear waters, abundant insect life, and elusive wild brown trout. It’s a renowned destination for fly fishing enthusiasts worldwide.

Whether you’re a beginner or have varying levels of experience, we understand that fly fishing can present learning curves. That’s why we strive to provide quality tours that prioritise your enjoyment and cater to your specific goals at every stage of your fly fishing journey.

We pride ourselves in providing great customer service and when you are making enquiries or a booking you will deal directly with the owner Scott Murphy, either by email, phone, WhatsApp or Zoom.

We cater to beginners and experienced anglers alike, and we also offer Corporate Events and Fly Fishing Workshops . Additionally, we provide options for lure and bait fishing.

When you join our tours, all fishing equipment and supplies are included. We can arrange to pick you up from your accommodation or meet you at designated locations. We also provide fresh local catering, ensuring you have a fulfilling experience on and off the water.

While we encourage catch and release fishing, we understand that you may want to keep a fish for a feed. Please refer to the top of our “ Rates and Tour Details ” page for notes on our current fishing season .

We prioritize having fun in the great outdoors and actively promote the conservation of our environment.

Tasmania is undeniably a beautiful location that belongs on everyone’s “Bucket List”… Scott, Finn, Liam, and Shaun are all dedicated to providing you with an enjoyable and memorable fishing tour.

Quote – Norman Maclean, A River Runs Through It.

“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world’s great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.”  

PLEASE NOTE: All fish photographed were healthy, alive and safely returned to the water. 

PLEASE ALSO NOTE: We have previously been known as “ ALL ROUND GUIDE ”  and this is when we combined all of our coaching activities under one umbrella, since then, we have separated out the fly fishing as it deserves its own space, I hope you enjoy “ TASMANIA FLY FISHING “.  If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to email us on [email protected] , thank you.

After exploring the market’s offerings for 75 minutes, we will continue our journey through the scenic Coal River Valley wine region. This region is renowned for its reward winning cool climate wines. Along the way, we will make a quick stop at the acclaimed Wicked Cheese, where you can enjoy a complimentary cheese sampling and an opportunity to purchase some local produce from the Farm Gate cafe.
