Lake St Clair Lagoon is a premier fishery situated in the Central Highlands of Tasmania, Australia. This scenic lagoon, with the dramatic backdrop of Mount Olympus, is a renowned destination for anglers seeking brown trout. It functions as a water supply for the River Derwent power stations, featuring controlled water levels managed by radial gates. The lagoon offers a mix of calm, shallow waters ideal for wading and sight fishing, alongside deeper areas suitable for boat-based techniques, providing a diverse angling experience throughout the season.
