One of the primary attractions of angling in Tasmania is that in many places, the water is either so shallow or so clear that the fishermen can actually see the fish. This phenomenon, combined with the island's natural beauty and tranquility, make it the perfect place for fishing. Kelly, an accomplished watercolorist, is known to have designed at least four posters promoting travel to Tasmania.
