The Cressy Trout Expo dates have been moved. The Trout Expo will now be held over the weekend of the 2nd and 3rd of October. You will still find all the great stalls and entertainment, but hopefully the weather will be better. The Cressy Trout Expo is still going to be held in the ground of the Cressy District High School. The School can be found on Main Street, which is the main street of the township. Cressy itself is a small rural community and the Trout Expo is a great community event.
Last year saw trout cooking demonstrations become a popular attraction of the Expo. The school children provide great entertainment with a fashion show and many of their works on display and some for sale. There are quite a number of displays including displays from fishing clubs and other sporting groups. There are shops with fishing equipment for sale and clothing too. Of course there are great food stalls to enjoy as well.
The fishing competition is held at Brumby’s creek. You register at the Cressy District High School and then take the shuttle bus a few minutes down the road to creek. The fishing competition takes place over the entire weekend by the stalls and displays will only be available on the Saturday. Make sure you register so that if you catch the tagged trout you can win the prize money.
Cressy is about twenty minutes from the Launceston Airport, just past Longford. The only real way to travel there is by car.
