Four Springs access road improvements
On Wednesday June 25, Forestry Tasmania regraded the road into Four Springs giving this main access road a much needed lift in preparation for the upcoming season. As well as levelling the surface the road was also widened and roadside vegetation cleared. The carpark has also been regraded which will make life easier for those visiting this popular fishery. The Inland Fisheries Service is extremely grateful to Forestry Tasmania for their assistance and at the opening of the 2008/09 angling season the large numbers of anglers who fish this popular fishery will also be very appreciative of their works.

The popularity of the Inland Fisheries Trout Weekend was proven beyond a doubt this year. An estimated 4000 people came to the Liawenee field base over the two-day event and gave some very positive feedback about the event to the Service through a survey questionnaire. Definitely the main drawcard of the Weekend is the icon of our inland fishery – the wild Tasmanian brown trout – and the sheer number of these big fish spawning in the Liawenee Canal. Visitors and locals marvelled at the close up view. The Service demonstrated the fish trapping and stripping procedure, and the collecting of eggs for on-growing at the hatchery in New Norfolk and the Salmon Ponds.
