Lake Pedder Anglers Club is located in Tasmania's Southwest National Park. 

Tasmania is the island state of Australia.  

Our home base is the Lake Pedder Chalet where you are able to view club memorabilia and records.

In 1976 the Strathgordon Licensed Anglers Association was formed by Hydro Electric families living at Strathgordon.  

Lake Pedder is a hydro electric scheme impoundment.

In 1991 the club was renamed the Lake Pedder Anglers Club and in 2011 it became incorporated. 

Today Lake Pedder Anglers Club is run by a committee spread across the state and we remain one of the most active trout fishing clubs in Tasmania.

 

This is a family friendy club with many fourth generation families amongst its membership. 

Our membership of over 140 people has a cross section of ages from juniors through to seniors. 

The club aims to promote angling at Lake Pedder and in the South West Wilderness area.

One of our key focuses for many years has been to promote the benefits of fishing and nurture an interest in fishing amongst our children and junior competitors at our events.

 

Since 1978 the club has hosted a competition each January during the Australia Day week. 

The Back to Pedder Competition has become the Largest Freshwater Angling Event in Tasmania.   

This event is open to the public and people travel from around Australia to catch one of the famous Pedder trout.

A second competition is held during the June Long weekend each year.

New members are very welcome to come along to our bimonthly committee meetings and club events. 

If your new to angling, our club members are very supportive and happy to teach you the finer art of trout fishing. 

Our members practice all the different methods of trout fishing and many compete in other angling competitions throughout the year.

The club newsletter is published three times a year.

 

The club is very supportive of charities and actively fundraises for charity through an auction held during

the Back to Pedder Competition.
