The Australian Fly Fishing Museum is closed until further notice due to COVID-19.
The Australian Fly Fishing Museum operates under the National Trust and a dedicated committee. Accessed from the beautiful walled garden, the Museum is housed in an outbuilding on the grounds of Clarendon on the South Esk River, about 15 minutes from Launceston airport in northern Tasmania. Clarendon House is Australia’s finest Georgian mansion.
The Museum will collect, care for, interpret, and display angling equipment, art and artifacts that explain the traditions and techniques of our sport. We will promote the values of fly fishing, especially respect for the habitats of fly-responsive fishes. We will provide a national gathering place for anglers. And we will conduct educational programs in fly casting, fly tying, fishing etiquette, angling history, river ecology and aquatic insects.
