About Trout Territory | Fish Wild Tasmania
In January 2000, Gary and Fiona started Trout Territory, offering professional guided trout fishing tours. Over the last two decades they have immersed themselves in the tourism and fishing industries, and refining their service, growing Trout Territory into a professional and successful business.
In 2018 Gary and Fiona purchased the guided fishing tour business Fish Wild Tasmania from their industry colleague Bob McKinley when he retired.
Trout Territory – Fish Wild Tasmania is one of the longest running fly fishing tour operators in Tasmania, and is a respected, leading operator in the industry.
Gary and Fiona are both very active in supporting the Tasmanian trout fishery and the angling and tourism industries.
