Search for DPIWE (dept of prim. Ind. water and Environent) I think their website lists all good spots around Tassie, if not just google fly fishing Tassie, u should find plenty og info.

Yeah done all that , it always good to get advice off the locals as they know the best spots at the time , around Queanbeyan some of the fishing spots that websites say are good DON`T have water at the moment so u never know how good the info is.

It funny ppl that like cars seen to hate fishing. My car mates hate fishing , my fishing mates hate cars

Gus i know of a few spots around the island (depends on where you are planning on going) that i can let you know of.

It all comes down to time of year and if you are going to be up north or south of the state.

Do you know ANY spots at all you plan on checking out or is it still in the planning stage???

Cheers GMB

Still in the saving and planing stage we hope to get over there November but looks like nobody will have enuff money so maybe March , we want to fish those tailing fish u see on the TV shows, we sort of want to travel around and see as much as possible a few place that are must see are Lake St Clair , pedder and that Lagoon that has the Big Brook trout Penstock I think

When and what lakes do u get those HUGE dun/mayflies hatchers on , as over in the mainland trout don`t rise much we do pretty much all our fishing at night using big wets , great fun in winter when your line and rod ice up.

Sorry I dont have a better idea of spots and times but there is so many lakes . but we only want to catch trout on fly

Would mine to see a few Tassie lines to u dudes must have a mad time on those roads

At Lake St. Clair, you cant go wrong. Theres a spot that involves a decent walk, probably a good hour or so up the Mt. Rufus track, theres a lake called Shadow Lake, which is joined to another thats not named, the un-named lake has a few BIG rainbow trout. Always seek local advice on the weather tho, cause if you get stuck your f**ked up that way

    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
    • So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
    • Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
    • Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
