Flyfishers hope for air temperatures regularly in the 20s to warm water and spark mayfly hatches.

Four Springs Lake water remains high and trout are rising in calm conditions. Many are small but an informed local angler said two and three kilogram brownies were caught recently.

Shore anglers, however, often need to wade out past weed to clearer water.

Meanwhile, an experienced angler specialising in trolling highland lakes deep reports that while recent catches varied, Woods Lake results pleased.

Numerous browns in good nick came at lures coloured red, green and gold trolled deep and although many just under-sized were returned, many others were kept.

The Great Lake Tie-In is this Saturday, October 16 at the Miena Community Centre from 10am to about 3 pm for a gold coin donation. Fly tyers will demonstrate and discuss tying and using flies.

Calamari fishers are being asked to comment before November 7 on options for possible changes to the management of Tasmania's calamari fishery. For more information, contact Wild Fisheries Management on 0457 006 821 or email calamari@dpipwe.tas.gov.au

Big bluefin tuna continue to come aboard off Eaglehawk Neck with gamefishers hoping they will stay around all year every year.
