Risdon Brook Dam fishing closure
Due to the very low water level at Risdon Brook Dam it is currently not feasible to fish from the platforms set up for anglers with a disability. As this is a public domestic water supply anglers should note that the platforms are the only place angling is permitted. As a consequence of the low water levels no fishing is permitted at Risdon Brook Dam until further notice. Southern Tasmania now has four other venues where anglers with a disability can safely fish. These are the Plenty River at the Salmon Ponds, the River Derwent at Windsor Corner north of New Norfolk, the River Derwent at the Esplanade at New Norfolk and the River Derwent at Bridgewater at Riverside Drive just off the Boyer Road.
