Arthurs Lake is Tasmania’s most popular trout fishing lake, with more anglers fishing Arthurs Lake than any other water in Tasmania. Arthurs Lake resulted from damming the upper Lake River and flooding the area that originally contained Blue Lake and Sand Lake, and the Morass Marsh made the modern day water we now know as Arthurs Lake.
