Exploring Tasmania, Australia - Fly Fishing Plateau Lakes & Small Creeks by Todd Moen

- Fly fishing Tasmania, Australia. High Plateau Lakes and the small creek Twigwaters for brown trout on dry flies. For this project I filmed on the Twigwaters and high plateau lakes of the amazing Australian island of Tasmania. Flown Under Down Under by Tourism Australia, I met up with Daniel and Simone Hackett of RiverFly 1864. RiverFly 1864 recently won the 2017 Gold Medal from the Australian Tourism Awards. I filmed Simone and Daniel stalking small creeks, or Twigwaters, of the north-east streams in search of small, gorgeous brown trout who live in a playground environment.
In the second segment of the tour, Daniel and I hiked into the Northern Lakes region inside the Tasmanian World Heritage Area near the Walls of Jerusalem National Park. Our basecamp was private RiverFly 1864 huts. I was able to capture some truly interesting animals on film, including the spiny little echidna, the famous jack jumper ants, wallabies and the venomous copperhead and tiger snakes. Tasmania is a magical place, and for a camera operator it's an exciting landscape to film and a place I’d like to return to with my family someday.
Special thanks to Eddie Bauer & Bauer Fly Reels for promoting Catch Magazine. Also many thanks to Tourism Australia, Daniel and Simone Hackett of RiverFly 1864 and Karen and Josh De Groot for their generous hospitality and new friendship. Finally, I'd like to recognize and appreciate Trevor Green Music accompanying this video, which include guitar, didgeridoo and percussion instruments in songs from 'Sacred Seed' and his newest album 'Voice of the Wind.

Incredible video of the fishing in one of the world's greatest spots for it! I'm so thankful to be able to live here and experience what it has to offer on a regular basis. For those who don't live here, don't plan a trip to Australia without including Tassie! For a small island, it has such an incredible natural diversity.
Beautiful indeed. Makes me want to go live there. The only thing putting me off is seeing that snake every now and again...
It's pretty snakey there! Thanks for watching.
Can't believe I am actually buying a place down there, this has made me even more excited. Perfect in every way! Right down to the catch & release. Plenty of fish to eat from the fish shop, leave these beautiful fish where they are.
Tell it Like it is Leave your address here, I’m going to visit you and we’ll go fishing...😊

W o W !! nice work
Thanks Mike!
very good
that was amazing bro. suport
They're not as big as I thought, but size doesn't matter all the time, yes the river bottoms are very much like Rotorua in New Zealand and the same sort of colour water - I'm not sure about aussie but other places in the country get emerald water from the surrounding beech forest and some go blue because of snow fall and others are just plain and clear, an example is the Taupo fishery especially the Tongariro river just plain clear water.
1:44 I could explore streams like that all day 😁
So basically Jurassic Park.. Awesome
Thanks for watching! Please subscribe!
Cool bro)
Forgot to mention the big fat tiger snakes.
Another one of Todd Moen's amazing videos. I fished down there many times with my ex-wife's father who was also a fly fisherman. We saw all the wildlife: kangaroos, wallabies, achidnas, feral goats, Tasmanian devils, duckbilled platypus, and yes, the venomous snakes: Tiger snakes and Brown snakes.
Thanks Ian!!!
👍👍👍👍
Ayo mas coba2 ke sini cari spot toman👍😅
Morrison giving john a free holiday
You are the one
Good good
Can anyone tell what fish species dominated these streams before artificial introduction of brown trout? Are these fish still there? Thanks.
Joey, thanks for the answer. Not sure I got what you mean by blackfish (Girella tricuspidata? But it's not a freshwater fish), but this sounds like awful little. Are there species that were totally replaced by trout, or is it so that these rivers did not have large freshwter fish prior to the introduction of brown trout? Thanks again :)
Edit: sorry, it appears the blackfish you were talking about are from the Gadopsis genus. It's a cool fish, never heard about it before. BTW, I'm asking this because it's weird to see brown and rainbow trout fished everywhere. I'm certainly not the one to judge, but imho if one goes across the planet to fish in the exotic waters and pays thousands of dollars for guiding alone, is it really a plus that (s)he finds the same darn trout there as (s)he would anywhere else or at home.. Anyways, at least it's summer there right now. Can't say much against that :)
Hola...que modelos y números de los equipos ocupados??? Hermoso lugar y muy buena pesca! Saludos desde Patagonia - Puerto Natales, CHILE
Hello, all the video details are always described in the details box of each video along with credits and handy urls.
My backyard!.....
Maybe i should get a place in tazzie:P
What is the song called @ 11 mins
Great Job as always Todd.... Do you ever get a chance to fish when your shooting these films or is it all business?
Hi there! 99% of the time it's all business. I did not hold a rod on this trip at all. No fishing was had on this one even though it was a huge time commitment and a once in a lifetime location. It's work for me, I have a family that I need to take care of and if I put the camera down to fish, something amazing always happens which means I could potentially miss the shot of the trip. Not worth it. I've learned to love getting the take through the lens. Some people call me crazy. Maybe I am... its a great job, but it is work for me. Dealing with fish and work is not easy.
CatchMagazine I hear you Todd and your videos reflect your hard work thanks for the replying can't wait for the next one
Where is twig water in tas
11.33 tiger snake in lake
👍🌹
You know, I see these people casting in a way that it looks like their fly is being dropped onto the water when I sturggle to keep my dry fly afloat when I cast.
Southern Oregon Fishing grab yourself some floatent or how ever you spell it
Good view and fun activities
May I share your video on my facebook..??
Thank you
Cameras used?
Hi Keith, I always include a full description of equipment used in the video description box. Thanks
What kind of snakes are in the video?
Tiger Snake!
11:32 snake!
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. How would you feel if you were the one on the hook?
Trout do not have a central nervous system like that of a mammal so they do not experience "pain" in the same sense!...and it was catch and release fishing so very ethical. So Vegan Vixen do you own a car or ride a bike? helplessly contributing to your carbon and petrochemical mayhem. Do onto to others......I'm sure nothing you own was made in china or hurt someone ever...do you live on a cloud and eat "aircakes"?
I fished in Tasmania many years ago and thought it had excellent fishing, until I fished in New Zealand. Anyone considering a long distance fly fishing trip from Europe or America I recommend you skip Oz and Tasmania and go straight to NZ. There simply is no comparison. The South Island is you can.
I live in Western Australia and regularly travel to both Tasmania and the south island of NZ to fly fish. They are both wonderful places to fish and I would not recommend one over the other.
👍👏🆒️💯🥇🐟🎣
Ya cant get a better fishin hole...
Not enough fishing in this video.
Must be great knowing you could encounter a snake with every cast....bugger that for a laugh! (I will stick with NZ thanks)
It's not a problem. Just like the giant eels with massive fangs that live in so many of the streams in NZ aren't a problem. Just have to be cautious of your surroundings.
CatchMagazine As far as I am aware there has never been a case of an eel killing a human, snakes on the other hand....
Never mind snakes...in Tasmania it's the killer ants you have to watch out for!
Yep , Getting a bite has a few meanings fishing here in Tassie ..Fish , spiders , mosquito's and snakes.
Awesome vid Todd.. I'm rejoining the trout fraternity as we speak ..
Haaa
