The Little Fisher River is located in north-west Tasmania and has been run by both kayakers and packrafters. The upper section of the river is the documented paddling stretch, characterized by fast-flowing water and a significant volume of in-stream wood. Tree strainers are described as numerous throughout this section, representing the primary hazard on the run. Despite the wood hazard, the river has been described by those who have paddled it as a rewarding and enjoyable trip.

The river has been paddled at least twice — once by kayak and once by a group of four packrafters who believed they were making a first descent before learning otherwise. The packrafting trip took place during a period of high water in the region, suggesting the run benefits from or may require substantial rainfall to be viable. Paddlers should be prepared for a genuine adventure-style trip rather than a straightforward run, given the wood management required throughout.

The surrounding terrain is steep and heavily vegetated, with escarpment country and boulder fields in the broader catchment area. The river corridor reflects this rugged landscape character. Given the tree strainer hazard, paddlers should have solid whitewater skills and experience managing wood in moving water. The run is suited to those comfortable with packrafts or creek kayaks in a remote, committing environment.

No specific access points, take-out locations, facilities, or regulated restrictions were documented in available accounts of the river.
