Freshwater Angling Forum Miena 23 January 2026
Due to the popularity of the angling forums in Hobart, Launceston and Devonport in September 2025 we are now hosting a freshwater angling forum in Miena on 23 January 2026. The forum is an opportunity to have a chat about trout fishing in Tasmania, hear about the work being undertaken by the IFS and have your questions answered. Following the forum, attendees will have a chance to meet and chat with the IFS staff. Representatives from Anglers Alliance Tasmania will also be in attendance. Light refreshments and food will be provided. This is a free event. We look forward to seeing you!
