No brook trout catches logged yet — log one and you'll be recognised here.
Introduced North American char, stocked into limited cold highland waters in TAS, NSW and VIC. Targeted with small lures, wet and dry flies and bait in cool, clear streams and lakes. Less widespread than brown or rainbow trout — confined to specific managed fisheries.
Generally fished with ultralight tackle — match gear to the conditions and the size of fish you expect.
Seasons shift with water temperature and local conditions, so check recent reports before a trip.
