Thousands of anglers are logging onto webcams in Tasmania searching for the best places to fish this summer.

Anglers Alliance Tasmania has to set up nine webcams across the state's lakes and creeks to give anglers a 24-hour picture of fishing conditions at their favourite holes.

Operator of Trout Territory fishing tours, Gary France, says anglers around Australia and the world are using the webcams to assess Tasmania's fishing season.

"It's astounding how many people are actually looking at these camera's per month," he said.

"It's thousands and it's not just Tasmania.

"They're looking at the situation from Melbourne or where they come from.

"So it's valuable for visitors, it's valuable for tourism, it's valuable for safety and it's valuable for information when you want to go out and plan a day."

The cameras cost about $45,000 to set up and $6,500 a year to run and are attracting local sponsorship to keep the sites in operation.

Mr France says the cameras give anglers a clear picture about what's happening on the water each day.

"They see the sky, the mountains, the clouds and the water.

"They are going to be able to get a really good idea of how many people might be around on any given day, what the wind is doing on the water.

Mr France says the cameras have been set up in key locations to give anglers the best look at fishing conditions in the regions.

"They're at key locations looking in key directions to give you a very good snapshot of what it might be like.

"People are coming to Tasmania from America and the UK where there is a strong fishing culture and they are looking on an anglers website.
