Your usual bream gear should do the job. You may want to upgrade your leader to 3 or 4kg for fishing around oysters/rocks/warves in the Derwent for bream but otherwise the lighter stuff should be fine. Sounds like a good trip in the making. You'll get to see some awesome little yaking spots on the way down the east coast.
For the trout in the rivers you can use small soft plastics on small hook/light jig heads - say around #4 on 1/24th jig heads. Also a few Celta style lures are good in the fast water. And of course fly fishing - do you fly fish? For trout in the lakes a bigger plastic like a power minnow or squidgy fish works well on a 1/16th jig head.

Thanks Vertigrator, I will bring along some heavier leader & as far as fly fishing I havent been able to get hooks small enough to catch them 
, No I have tried but cant seem to get the casting right. I need a big clearing so as not to hook up on anything. Tried it last time I was in Tassie in 2000, stayed at Derwent Bridge & had a fish in Lake StClaire, lovely spot. Give up on the fly fishing & went for a bush walk instead.
Thanks again.
Cheers & Beers

Sorry Craig. I only just saw your post. I was there last week. Yes, that record breaking period of continuous wet weather and flooding, interspersed with strong winds, fog and the occasional comet.
Five days, total of four hours of fly fishing. Them's the breaks.
