Thousands of adult brown trout have been transferred from highland spawning streams to other fisheries around the Tasmania over the winter to provide exciting fishing opportunities for anglers.

Recent rain and snow will see lakes starting to fill and rivers swollen for the early part of the season. This will allow anglers to target trout as they feed around the edges and inflows.

With the much anticipation the brown trout season opens on Saturday 1 August these stockings of trout over winter mean there are plenty of places to get out and try to tempt a trout.

The table below shows where the IFS have stocked adult brown trout and how many. These fish should provide good opportunities as they are of takeable size.
