The 60-year-old man managed to make his way to the rocks in the middle of the river after finding it too difficult to swim in the flooded gorge.
Emergency services responded to calls of a man in distress shortly after 6pm prompting a joint response. The man was pulled from the floodwaters where he was assessed by paramedics at the scene.
Tasmania Police advise that following significant rainfall in the state, it is a timely reminder for people not to enter or swim in floodwaters.
