Lake Skinner

Postby THERSTY » Sat 31 Oct, 2009 9:13 pm

Gday new to the site but love it already....

Anybody done the walk to Lake Skinner recently? Thinking of going there for a fish next week sometime....

Is it a nice walk? tuff?

Also if anybody has fished it do they have any recommendations ?


Any reply is much appreciated...

An unrelenting climb but through lovely forest. Look out for "fagus" round the lake. Small Celtas work well in this lake. The climb to Sth. Snowy beyond gives great views back towards the Mt Anne massif.

What is this 'fagus' you speak of?

Thanks for reply ;)

Nothofagus Gunnii is an endemic species of deciduous beech found in sub-alpine regions of Tasmania. It is our only native deciduous tree in Tasmania and the only endemic deciduous tree in Australia. Distribution of this beech and it's relatives is excellent evidence of the super-continent Gondwana.

And the Fagus madness starts when the leaves change colour to drop. Stand back and watch the rush of camera made walkers. :D

In autumn. Have a look in the gallery for a topic with lots of fagus photos from last autumn (and one from the previous year too).
