Fishing near Devonport, Tasmania

Devonport sits at the mouth of the Mersey River on Tasmania's north-west coast, giving anglers direct access to both productive estuarine and open saltwater fishing without leaving town. The Mersey is a year-round fishery, while nearby beaches, rocky headlands like Mersey Bluff, and jetties at places like Squeaking Point and Port Sorell round out a varied inshore scene. Inland, rivers including the Don, Leven, and more distant waters hold trout and other freshwater species.
