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). -

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. -
