Lake Mikany boat ramp extended

The recent low water levels have allowed the boat ramp at Lake Mikany to be extended. The lake is managed by TasWater as a water supply and being close to Stanley and Smithton it has become a popular fishery.
Set in natural bushland this sheltered water provides opportunities to fish from either the shore or a small boat. Boats propelled manually or by electric motor can only be used. With a good inflowing stream the wild brown trout are able to spawn naturally and no stocking is needed.
The boat ramp will remain closed until the water level improves.
