Arthurs Lake
Launceston, Tasmania, australia. Phone: Not AvailableAbout
This is Tasmania's most popular trout fishery, receiving more anglers and more angler effort than any other water in the State. Damming the Upper Lake River and flooding the area that originally contained two lakes, Blue Lake and Sand Lake, and the Morass marsh made the modern day Arthurs Lake. The water in Arthurs Lake is used for hydro electricity generation with the water being pumped into Great Lake to feed the power station at Poatina. Brown trout are the only species of trout recorded at Arthurs as has been the case since the 1960s. Rainbow trout were present in the early days. Arthurs is known for its good catch rate for its wild stocks of brown trout. There are three road accesses into Arthurs and numerous shacks and camping areas. Numerous boat ramps are available and the lake is popular for boat based fishers.
