No brown trout catches logged yet — log one and you'll be recognised here.
Introduced European trout, the backbone of cool-climate stream and lake fisheries in TAS, VIC, NSW and parts of SA and WA. Targeted with flies, lures and bait in rivers and impoundments; sea-run browns also push into TAS estuaries. A freshwater licence is required in most states.
Generally fished with light 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.
