Arthurs Lake

Since the demise of Lake Sorell, Arthurs has taken over the mantle as the State’s premier fishery. For many years, it’s provided the most consistent dry and wet fly fishing. With recent low water levels, the normally-reliable mayfly fishing has been anything but, however the number of fish and amount of “fishable” water is such that good fishing is never far away. Fish average just over two pounds in weight and three pound plus fish are common enough.

Sensational wet fly fishing starts at the beginning of the season, with extensive weed beds prevalent in almost every bay. Sight fishing gets better and better as the months progress, with dry fly fishing starting in November and continuing through to the end of the season. This lake has it all. It’s therefore not surprising that it’s fished by more anglers than any other water. But for those who are here to fish for only one day, Arthurs is hard to go ignore!
