Last week we had contractor’s clear vegetation along the sides of the track into Clarence Lagoon. The high clearance 4WD track had become overgrown making it difficult to access the boundary of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. At the boundary you will find a small parking area and it is a short walk to Clarence Lagoon where you can fish for brook trout.

Entrance to the Clarence Lagoon track is 3.2km west of the Clarence River bridge on the Lyell Highway.

The last stocking of brook trout into this water was in 2012 when 5000 fry were released. We are looking for feedback on how the lagoon is fishing so if you do get a chance to have a go can you please drop us an email at infish@ifs.tas.gov.au. The length, weight or a size estimate, time spent fishing and a photo would be appreciated. This will assist with the future management of brook trout at Clarence Lagoon.
