To mark International Women's Day, free fishing clinics for women and girls are being held in Hobart and St Helens.
If you'd like to try fishing, or to brush up your skills, come along to one of the clinics where you'll get tips from experienced volunteers and female mentors. We'll have gear available or bring your own rod. Learn how to rig it, cast your line and handle a fish when you catch one.
There are giveaways at both events including rods and fishing caps. Please pre-register by emailing . You can register at the event, but numbers may be limited.
Tag your photos and win
We're also running an Instagram promotion so tag us in your photos of women and girls fishing anytime between Sat 6th - Sun 14th March. To enter:
1) follow @fisheriestas on Instagram, and
2) tag your photos #GetTassieGirlsFishing.
There are four rod and reel packages to be won (for Tas residents only).
