Lake Ayr Fishing Guide, Kentish, Tasmania

• Overview

  Lake Ayr is one of the Kentish waters in Tasmania. The land about it is rolling hill. At about 46 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. Bank access stretches around 2.6 km in total. The closest town, Queenstown, is 51 km away. Hobart sits 157 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lake Ayr

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Take Lake Ayr a stretch at a time. First and last light beat anything in between.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 3°C in July up to 12°C in February. A lid forms in a hard winter only. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. Early spring brings the water on quickly here. That shapes the year on Lake Ayr. A grey, mild day is often better than a bright, still one.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lake How at 8.1 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Lake Ayr should be assumed from this page alone.
