London Lakes Fly Fishing Lodge

This is Australia's only International standard fly fishing lodge and accommodates only fly fishers and their partners, or persons wishing to learn to fly fish. London Lakes Lodge welcomes lady anglers. Beginners are also welcome. Most experienced fly fishermen need tuition in the short distance casting techniques required for the Tasmanian fishery. The Lodge is small and private, handcrafted from Tasmanian celery-top pine logs and field stone with internal woodwork featuring exotic Tasmanian species. The Lodge accommodates ten persons in five twin-bedded rooms, each with its own bathroom. Built in 1984, the Lodge was refurbished in 1998 and is a welcome haven for International anglers seeking the very best of Tasmanian fly fishing, foods and wines. The team of ten London Lakes professional guides is friendly, courteous and professional. Dining Chef, Gregory Howitt, has returned to the Lodge for his sixth season. He is a passionate fly-fisher and chef extraordinare. You can read some of Greg's recipes in the January, 1997, issue of American Gourmet or see him in action on the video, "Flavour of Tasmania."

Greg has also been featured in Belle Magazine, the Australian Gourmet and Vogue Entertaining. He possesses a repertoire of international cuisine and thoroughly enjoys the challenges afforded by our overseas clientele. Fishing

Tasmania is an island approximately three hundred kilometres by two hundred and twenty-five klilometres, located 40º to 45º south of the equator and is subject to variable weather conditions. August and September are cold with some snow and it is recommended International travellers do not visit Tasmania during these months for fly fishing holidays. Hobart, and London Lakes, has an average annual rainfall of only twenty-four inches. Average maximum temperatures for Hobart are between 15 and 20 degrees yearround. London Lakes temperatures are usually one or two degrees lower than those of Hobart. The maximum summer temperature at London Lakes is 30ºC (86ºF). Although it can be windy from September to November, storms and dangerous winds are rare. The variable conditions provide ever changing angling conditions. The angler can fish to tailing trout, polaroid trout and fish to rising trout - all in the one day.
