The Clyde River offers a classic Tasmanian inland fishing experience, flowing through the scenic landscapes of Tasmania's central highlands. This freestone river provides diverse angling opportunities, from its headwaters near Bothwell down to the tailwater sections influenced by Lake Crescent. The river supports a mixed fishery with both native and introduced species, creating a varied angling environment that attracts fly fishers and lure anglers alike. Its waters wind through rural properties and conservation areas, offering a mix of accessible public stretches and more remote sections that require permission to access.
