Wondering whether or not to spend money on an accessory?
The one thing you must buy is a license. You can buy these at fishing shops and service tasmania outlets. A full season license for an adult is .90, an additional .80 buys the right to use two rods.
The fee for a license is less if you are 17 or younger, an eligible pensioner or a senior card holder. 1, 3, or 14 day licenses are also available. The penalty if you get caught without a license is ridiculously severe, so make sure you buy one before heading out.
