Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great time stalking brown trout on the Mersey River. Excellent guide. Large Trout. Bonus was seeing platypus swimming in the river.

Daniel Hackett and the team at Riverfly1864 are hands down the best flyfishing guides I have experienced. Whether staying at their Wilderness Huts and hunting big, wild trout in the Western Lakes of Tasmania's Central Highlands or roaming the rivers around Launceston, they bring knowledge, access and fun to a days' fishing. I'm a repeat customer and i am still impressed with their ability to spot fish and then, as an added bonus, take great photos as you hook in to them. I'm happy fishing by myself and with my mates but fishing with Riverfly1864 takes it to another level so at least once a season I treat myself. It's worth it.

This was another tick off my bucket list - Fly fishing in Tassie. My bestie was happy to give it a crack also, so both of us first timers set off with the help of the friendly people at RiverFly 1864.
Great team -Simone was our first contact by phone - gathering intel to ensure we got what we wanted from our day. Pete, our guide, was full of local knowledge and an experienced fly fisherman. Good conversation, patience of a saint, guided us to success again and again.
If you are into fishing this is a must try experience.

A great set of guides for river fishing with very sound knowledge of the rivers fished on, also great photography of your day on the river if required. The store itself has a strong local specific supply of equipment.

Terrific Guide company - just brilliant. Have done individual days and multi day guiding with Daniel, Simone and their team. Sensational to be out with Sim with the girls and being out with Dan and Greg on a multiple day trip with a close mate was mind blowing.

Dan and Simone Hackett are the ONLY people I would ever send a fly fishing aficionado to chat with. They're personable, knowledgeable and what they offer will appeal to rank amateurs (like myself who they helped with a casting tutorial) to intrepid adventurers wanting to see the real Tasmania from the water's edge.
