Coal River
Coal River at Hatchers
Our Japanese Friends
Tasmania offers the ultimate in trout fishing. Its myriad rivers, streams, lakes and tarns are an anglers' paradise. It is a beautiful, unspoilt environment that attracts fishermen from around the world,
The River at Hatchers Manor is downstream from the Craigbourne Dam . The Dam is about 20 minutes from Richmond. The dam is primarily an irrigation storage but is an important and popular fishery because of its proximity to Hobart. Access is limited around the shore because of private land tenure of some of the shoreline. A boat ramp near the dam is available for those wanting to fish from a boat.
Fishing Information.
The Fisheries Management service stocks the fishery heavily with rainbow trout, brook trout, Atlantic salmon and supplements the fishery with special stockings of adult brown trout from time to time. Regular stockings of large and trophy Atlantic salmon are a feature of our management of the fishery and the wish to provide great fishing opportunities close to large population centres. Some of the larger Atlantic salmon caught have weighed between 6-10 kg. The average size of brown trout is about 2 kg and rainbow trout can be caught weighing up to 1 kg. Brook trout are often caught after stocking and weigh about 500 gramms

Platypus
Tasmania is an island of surprises, and one of the most memorable moments for many
visitors is an unexpected encounter with Tasmania's native animals. You may
be strolling along a trail in one of our national parks when an echidna scurries
across your path. You may be fishing trout stream at dawn when the splash
of a platypus alerts you to its presence. You can take a walk along our part of
the Coal River quitely at dawn or dusk and see some of these animals in the wild.

Conference, corporate or general groups are a specialty. We currently have 3 lakes stocked with Brown and Rainbow trout as well as Atlantic Salmon ranging in size from 1 lb to 20 lb. Although our fishery is stocked we never feed them artificially but from the natural food that is in an abundance. Fly fishing is our preferred option but lure fishing is also provided for. We offer fly fishing tuition for anyone who wants to learn the gentle art of attracting a wary fish to a fly cast onto the water. Our lakes are in a natural setting surrounded by bush with and abundance of birds and animals including Platypus.
We cater for all people who want to fish - from the junior who wants to learn or the expert who enjoys the challenge of trying to catch a trophy fish. We can supply fishing equipment as well as extra flies and lures if they need to be purchased. BBQ facilities with a shelter shed on site is available which allows for picnic lunches while having a break. Our fishery is catch and release with an option to purchase if desired. We strive to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable time and tell their friends of such a great experience they had .
