Native Fish The Western Lakes area is home to four species of native fish; the Climbing galaxias, Spotted galaxias, Clarence galaxias and the Western paragalaxias. The Western paragalaxias (Paragalaxias julianus) is a State and Commonwealth listed threatened fish found only within the Western Lakes area in the Ouse, James and Little Pine river systems. While the Western paragalaxias co-exists with trout, they are far more abundant in waters that are trout free. There are also a number of invertebrate species that are unique to the region. To assist in the protection of these species it is an offence to use fish or fish products as bait or to transfer any fish species or other organisms between waters.

Introduction The Western Lakes is defined as the Central Plateau Conservation Area west of the A5 Highland Lakes Road and the Walls of Jerusalem National Park. The Western Lakes covers approximately 140,000 hectares within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (WHA) containing a vast network of lakes, lagoons, tarns, streams and rivers renowned for its recreational trout fishing.
The Inland Fisheries Service (IFS) is responsible for the management of native and recreational freshwater fisheries in the Western Lakes.
The Parks and Wildlife Service (PWS) are responsible for managing the land area of the Western Lakes.
IFSandPWSregulationscontainedinthisbrochurerelatetotheentireWesternLakesarea.ThemapandgeneralinformationinthisbrochurearespecifictotheportionoftheWesternLakesaccessiblefromLakeAugustaRoadviaLiawenee.
Gett ing There Liawenee lies on the western shore of Great Lake approximately 92km north west of Melton Mowbray and 59km south of Deloraine via the A5 Highland Lakes Road. Other popular access points to the Western Lakes include Lake Mackenzie, Walls of Jerusalem National Park and Clarence Lagoon.
Background The Western Lakes aquatic environment is ecologically highly significant with numerous species present, some of which are endemic. The region sustains a unique recreational trout fishery that is valued for its wilderness environment. You are encouraged to enjoy and protect its beauty.
All waters except Augusta Dam are natural, formed by glacial activity during the last ice age. The region lies at an altitude of approximately 1150 m and is very exposed therefore visitors should be well prepared as sudden changes in weather including snow and poor visibility can occur at any time of the year. Many waters are accessible by unsealed roads and short walks. For the more adventurous there are extended walks. High clearance
4WD tracks to Talinah Lagoon, Lake Pillans and the Julian Lakes are open at certain times of the year.
Recreational Fisher y Management The Western Lakes Fishery Management Plan is designed to maintain sustainable catch rates, fish quality and the overall angling experience. Natural recruitment of wild fish stocks is the mainstay of the fishery supplemented with stocking of primarily wild brown trout. Appropriate size and bag limits have been applied to protect the angling values of specific waters.

Angl ing Notes The Western Lakes Wilderness Fishery is dominated by wild brown trout with rainbow trout present in some waters. Clarence Lagoon is the only water in the Western Lakes that holds brook trout.
Individual waters are small and sensitive suited to small angling groups or individuals. Angler dispersal is encouraged to maintain the angling experience and wilderness values.
Early season fishing for ‘tailing’ trout is best in waters with shallow, weedy margins that fill with winter rain and snow melt such as Lake Kay, Double Lagoon, Howes Lagoon Bay and Talinah Lagoon. If trout are not visible then careful searching of the undercut banks of most waters with a wet fly or nymph can produce fish. Given favourable conditions, polaroiding can be rewarding throughout the season although December to February is the optimal period. Shallow sand/silt bottom waters are best such as lakes Ada, Augusta and Chipman and Double, Third and Second lagoons. Good dry fly fishing to mayfly feeders during late December to February occurs at Lake Kay, Howes Lagoon Bay and Carter Lakes. Spin fishing, trolling and loch style fly fishing are popular on Lakes Augusta and Ada.
Protect our Waters Recreational anglers have a responsibility to look after fisheries resources for the benefit of the environment and future generations. • Do not bring live or dead fish, fish products, animals
or aquatic plants into Tasmania.• Do not bring any used fishing gear or any other
freshwater recreational equipment that may be damp, wet or contain water into Tasmania. Check,cleananddry your fishing equipment before entering Tasmania.
• Do not transfer any freshwater fish, frogs, tadpoles, invertebrates or plants between inland waters.
• Check your boat, trailer, waders and fishing gear for weed and other pests that should not be transferred before moving between waters.
• Do not use willow (which is a plant pest) as a rod support as it has the ability to propagate from a strike.

Minimum impact walking guidel inesLeave no trace-When visiting these sensitive regions, please play your part in ensuring their future by following leave no trace guidelines. These are largely common sense, such as carrying out what you carry in, walking on formed tracks wherever possible, and pitching tents on established sites rather than creating a new one. The WHA is a fuel stove only area – open fires are not permitted, and in many areas, including all national parks and reserves, live bait cannot be collected.
To minimise the spread of the root rot fungus start your walk with clean gear, including boots, tent pegs, gaiters and tent floor; use washdown stations where provided; and wash your gear at the end of a trip.
If fishing in an area where a toilet exists please use it! If there is no toilet, walk 100m away from any water, dig a 15cm hole and bury your waste and the toilet paper as well.
By following these simple guidelines you will assist in ensuring the long-term viability of Tasmania’s freshwater fisheries, and our unique natural heritage. Remember, when fishing in Tasmania, fish for the future. Future anglers will thank you.
