Regulations

you are under 14 years of age.
Information on fishing rules for marine waters is in the Recreational Sea Fishing Guide and for inland
waters -The Tasmanian Anglers Code. Obtain these from Service Tasmania or tackle shops or
download from: www.fishing.tas.gov.au, or use the Tas Fish App and/or www.ifs.tas.gov.au. Fish
measuring rulers are also available to assist with fish size limit compliance.
