Tasmania is truly the last great undiscovered wild trout fishery in the world. I have been flyfishing the Tasmanian Highlands since 1962 and having been a guide for the past 20 years have been lucky enough to see the halcyon days of Lagoon of Islands and Lake Pedder, where the average fish size was between 10 and 15 pounds. Trout are seldom easy to catch, but I know there is nothing that can take the place of experience when it comes to putting clients onto fish. I invite you to share in this fishy experience and see why the Central Highlands of Tasmania is getting a reputation world-wide as one of the great flyfishing destinations.

YOUR GUIDE

Hi. I'm Bill Beck. I was born in Scotland and immigrated to Tasmania in 1958 as a youth. I soon discovered that Tasmania abounds with trout. I started fishing with bait & spinners and quickly graduated to fly fishing in 1962. It became an obsession with me and my thirst for knowledge coupled with my fanatical drive towards perfecting my techniques, saw me emerge as a top catcher of the elusive trout.
I am a founder member and past president of the Tasmanian Professional Trout Guides Association, (now Trout Guides and Lodges Tasmania Inc.) and widely regarded as one of the best fish catching guides in the state.
