At least you can own up to it!
Congrats on getting your licence approved, by the way.

Id never thought of it that way,so they frown upon past refused applications? I did look at applying around 2000 and DFO pretty well shut me down,so probably a good thing i didn't!

TO be honest, i miss the diversity that Victorian angling offers. Here it is just trout, trout & trout. The coast offers a bit more variety but nothing you can't get in Victoria as well.
Must be homesick 'cause i'm complaining about having a stream full of trout at the end of my driveway!

Apart from remote highland lake mazes, there is nothing about Tassie fishing that you can't get as good or better elsewhere. It's good, just not as good as some would try to convince you.
