Fishing Daisy Lakes in Meander Valley, Tasmania

• Overview

  Daisy Lakes is set in Meander Valley, Tasmania. The country round it is mixed woodland from end to end. With some 24 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. It is high ground by Tasmania standards. The closest town, Deloraine, is 40 km distant. Hobart is the closest city, 146 km away. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Daisy Lakes

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include brown trout. It reflects what has been logged, which depends on who was looking. Anyone new to Daisy Lakes should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 11°C, the coldest about 1°C. The calendar is generous: something works in nearly every month. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. The shoulder seasons either side of summer are the ones to aim for. Anyone fishing Daisy Lakes regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Failing this one, try Lake Ball, 7.3 km away. Treat access at Daisy Lakes as something to verify.
