Lake Levels in the eastern half of the state improved significantly through last season and should provide excellent fishing. River fisheries along the north and east coasts and midlands have also benefitted from the increased flows and cooler conditions. Lake Leake, Four Springs Lake, Woods Lake, yingina / Great Lake, Penstock, Little Pine and Bronte lagoons all fished well. Good catches were also reported from the Bradys Chain of lakes which has continued to improve over recent years. The Arthurs Lake fishery provided some great fishing particularly through the first half of last season and will definitely be worth a visit in 2021-22. It was encouraging to see the increased number of Tasmanians making the most of the good conditions, holidaying, and fishing at home. We expect to be joined by increasing numbers of anglers from the rest of Australia as the recovery from COVID continues. This year the Inland Fisheries Service has revamped its tagged trout promotion with an increased number of fish across a broader range of waters. The tagged trout promotion was a big hit last season with one of the five fish caught by Fiona Batterham, a member of the Westbury Angling Club, and the lucky winner of a $10,000 prize. The Carp Management Program continues to make good progress in the eradication of carp from Lake Sorell. Only three Tasmanian Inland Fishing Code • 2021-22 Page 4 carp were caught for the season and we don’t expect any further temporary closures will be necessary. Water levels will be high at the start of the season although trout numbers remain low. Across the road at Lake Crescent we are planning to undertake fisheries performance assessment including a population estimate to better understand the recovery of this important fishery. If water levels remain high, we expect both fisheries to steadily improve in coming years. I encourage all anglers to be vigilant with their own personal hygiene and to keep up to date with the latest information from the IFS website (www.ifs.tas.gov.au) and the Tasmanian Government coronavirus website (www.coronavirus.tas.gov.au) Thank you for buying a licence and supporting our inland fisheries. It helps fund our anglers access, compliance and stocking programs and other vital services for anglers.

Tasmanian Inland Fishing Code • 2021-22 Page 9 Licence information When and where you need an angling licence Each person must have a current angling licence to fish with a rod, reel and line at any inland water in Tasmania. This includes farm dams on private property. Most inland waters have an angling (or ‘open’) season. You can only fish that water during the open season that applies to it. Open season dates are on page 8 and 22-34 of this booklet. You do not need an angling licence to fish: • at a registered private fishery. • for indigenous fish (including bream) in the specified indigenous fish waters listed in theInland Fisheries Regulations 2019. • with a single rod at an open inland water if the person is under 14 years old. You must have a separate licence for whitebait fishing. No fee for junior angling licences The Tasmanian Government is making junior angling licences free for the next four years. Children from 14, up to, and including, 17 years of age can fish Tasmania’s inland lakes and waterways with a free angling licence available online and through agents. This commitment runs until the end of the 2024-25 season. Junior anglers under 14 years of age do not require an angling licence. Tasmanian Inland Fishing Code • 2021-22 Page 10 Licence type and cost Page 13 shows the angling licence types and costs for the 2021-22 licence period, which runs from 1/8/21 to 31/7/22. Full-season adult angling licences are discounted for: • Department of Human Services (DHS) or Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Pensioner Concession Card holders. • Seniors Card holders – issued by states and territories. You must show your Seniors Card or Pensioner Concession Card when you buy your licence. Please note that a Health Care Card does not qualify a person as eligible for a Pensioner licence. Buying or renewing a licence You can buy or renew an angling licence online at www.ifs.tas.gov.au Licences are also available at all Service Tasmania shops, on board the Spirit of Tasmania ships and many tackle, outdoor and sports stores throughout Tasmania. Angling licence conditions When you go fishing, you must comply with theInland Fisheries Act 1995, Inland Fisheries Regulations 2019, and subsequent Orders. We summarise these rules and regulations in this Tasmanian Inland Fishing Code.

  • Hydro 4 Water Storage
    TERM OF REFERENCE 3: STATE-WIDE WATER STORAGE MANAGEMENT The causes of the floods which were active in Tasmania over the period 4-7 June 2016 including cloud-seeding, State-wide water storage management and debris management. 1 CONTEXT 1.1 Cause of the Floods (a) It is clear that the flooding that affected northern Tasmania (including the Mersey, Forth, Ouse and South Esk rivers) during the relevant period was directly caused by “a persistent and very moist north-easterly airstream” which resulted in “daily [rainfall] totals [that were] unprecedented for any month across several locations in the northern half of Tasmania”, in some cases in excess of 200mm.1 (b) This paper addresses Hydro Tasmania’s water storage management prior to and during the floods. 1.2 Overview (a) In 2014, Tasmania celebrated 100 years of hydro industrialisation and the role it played in the development of Tasmania. Hydro Tasmania believes that understanding the design and purpose of the hydropower infrastructure that was developed to bring electricity and investment to the state is an important starting point to provide context for our submission. The Tasmanian hydropower system design and operation is highly complex and is generally not well understood in the community. We understand that key stakeholder groups are seeking to better understand the role that hydropower operations may have in controlling or contributing to flood events in Tasmania. (b) The hydropower infrastructure in Tasmania was designed and installed for the primary purpose of generating hydro-electricity. Flood mitigation was not a primary objective in the design of Hydro Tasmania’s dams when the schemes were developed, and any flood mitigation benefit is a by-product of their hydro- generation operation.

During the Late Wisconsin, icecap and outlet glacier systems developed on the West Coast Range and on the Central Plateau ofTasmania. Local cirque and valley glaciers occurred in many other mountain areas of southwestern Tasmania. Criteria are outlined that enable Late Wisconsin and older glacial landforms and deposits to be distinguished. Radiocarbon dates show Late Wisconsin ice developed after 26-25 ka BP, attained its maximum extent c. 19 ka BP, and disappeared from the highest cirques before 10 ka BP. Important Late Wisconsin age glacial landforms and deposits of the West Coast Range, north-central and south-central Tasmania are described. Late Wisconsin ice was less extensive than ice formed during middle and earlier Pleistocene glaciations. Late Wisconsin snowline altitudes, glaciological conditions and palaeodimatic conditions are outlined. Key Words: glaciation, Tasmania, Late Wisconsin, snowline altitude, palaeoclimate.

The rocky landscape here has been Friday, June 18, 2021 Page 1 of 8 shaped by glaciation, the rasping of ice across the bedrock leaving countless hollows in which lakes and tarns have formed. Glacial erratics are common, and the soil is poor and peaty. At 1040 metres above sea level, the area is subject to extreme cold in winter, being swept by rain- and snow-bearing south-westerly winds. Much of the Central Plateau near Lake Malbena was burned by bushfire in 1961 (Binks 2006, p. 117), and Halls Island, on which the hut stands, has a complex fire history (Hackett 2021b).

Preface The St Clair Quadrangle, to which this report refers, contains the southern continuation of the glaciated region already surveyed in the Du Cane Quadrangle immediately to the north. Like the Du Cane Quadrangle, the St Clair Quadrangle has little mineral wealth but much to interest the bushwalker, and in addition, its easier access brings it within the range of the tourist. Indeed, a large part of the State's biggest scenic reserve, the Cradle Mountaln­ Lake St Clair National Park, occurs in this Quadrangle. Economically, the chief interest is centered in peculiarities of topography and drainage, enabling development of natural and artificial storage lakes to assist in t he production of hydro-electricity so necessary for industrial expansion. The St Clair Map Sheet presents a wide range of interesting studies for a variety of geologists including especially those inter~ ested in geomorphology and engineering, and it is to be hoped that this report will be followed by fUrther study.

  • DRAFT Tasmanian Inland Recreational Fishery Management Plan 2018-28
    DRAFT Tasmanian Inland Recreational Fishery Management Plan 2018-28 DRAFT Tasmanian Inland Recreational Fishery Management Plan 2018-28 Minister’s message It is my pleasure to release the Draft Tasmanian Inland Recreational Fishery Management Plan 2018-28 as the guiding document for the Inland Fisheries Service in managing this valuable resource on behalf of all Tasmanians for the next 10 years. The plan creates opportunities for anglers, improves access, ensures sustainability and encourages participation. Tasmania’s tradition with trout fishing spans over 150 years. It is enjoyed by local and visiting anglers in the beautiful surrounds of our State. Recreational fishing is a pastime and an industry; it supports regional economies providing jobs in associated businesses and tourism enterprises. A sustainable trout fishery ensures ongoing benefits to anglers and the community as a whole. To achieve sustainable fisheries we need careful management of our trout stocks, the natural values that support them and measures to protect them from diseases and pest fish. This plan simplifies regulations where possible by grouping fisheries whilst maintaining trout stocks for the future. Engagement and agreements with land owners and water managers will increase access and opportunities for anglers. The Tasmanian fishery caters for anglers of all skill levels and fishing interests. This plan helps build a fishery that provides for the diversity of anglers and the reasons they choose to fish.

  • Western Lakes Fishery Management Plan 2002
    Wilderness Fishery Western Lakes Western November 2002 F ISHERY M ANAGEMENT P LAN WESTERN LAKES WESTERN LAKES F ISHERY M ANAGEMENT P LAN November 2002 November 2002 Western Lakes – Fishery Management Plan Western Lakes – Fishery Management Plan November 2002 Executive Summary Introduction This fishery management plan is a subsidiary plan under the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Management Plan (WHA plan). The plan covers all areas of responsibility for which the Inland Fisheries Service (IFS) has statutory control; freshwater native species, freshwater recreational fisheries, and freshwater commercial fisheries. The plan also makes several recommendations on land management issues for consideration by the Parks and Wildlife Service (PWS). The area covered by the plan includes the Central Plateau Conservation Area west of the Lake Highway and the Walls of Jerusalem National Park, both of which lie within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Environment This section examines the impacts of users (primarily anglers) on the environment and specifically water quality, and how these impacts can be minimised while maintaining angling opportunities. Management prescriptions focus on monitoring and review of water quality and the impacts of boating, wading and weir construction in various waters, and where necessary, implementing remediation measures. An information and education approach with the particular emphasis on the use of signage, will play an important role. Establishment of alternative boating access outside of the Western Lakes, development of a boating code of practice and review of current boating regulations will assist in minimising boating impacts. Additionally, the IFS will encourage and support studies that examine the impacts of boating and wading.
