Huntsman Lake is a dam built in 2007 at the top of the Meander Valley in Tasmania, ringed by forest and fed by small streams. You come for brown trout, and FlyLife describes a large population of small wild fish.

If you fish it, start with a team of small wet flies, which FlyLife describes as one of the most productive methods. Bobs Bits and the Kate McLaren are the two flies it lists for the browns. Dry-fly action is described as limited, though fish still hold high in the water.

Season, bag, size and licence rules are in the current Tasmanian Inland Fisheries Service guide. Read it before you go.
