The ongoing adventures of a passionate wild trout fly fishing guide based in Tasmania, Australia's best trout fishing destination.
Roger Butler guides for his one-man guiding operation Red Tag Trout Tours which caters to flyfishers from all over the world, who share a common goal: getting a wild brown trout to hand.
Alan onto the first wild brown of the new season on the dry, the reliable dark brown emerger (one of Red Tag’s Dangerous Dozen) did it again.
Fish spotted after a couple of tentative sips on the surface and Alan presented the emerger in the right area, then down it went!
Good early sign for the October mayfly hatches.
Red Tag, Tourism Tasmania and Trout Guides & Lodges Tasmania combined to lift the awareness and profile of Tasmania’s world quality wild trout guided fly fishing experiences to the anglers of SE Queensland.
It was a very well attended and full-on show from the 30th Aug to 2nd Sept. at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, South Bank.
This had been a regular joint effort over the last five years or so and seen big increases in all numbers by the organizations involved.
Red Taggers, and other visitors to Hobart, may be interested in a new top selling publication that was recently launched by arguably Australia’s best know power walker, Prime Minister John Howard, called A Walk in Old Hobart.
It is a joint effort by Red Tag friends Mike Tatlow and Charles Wooley and an excellent read full of Hobart’s heritage and history told in a most relaxed and informative style.
