All things trout fishing will be showcased this month as the picturesque Eildon plays host to Troutfest 2022 on Saturday, 14 May.
Victorian Fisheries Authority (VFA) CEO, Travis Dowling, said the Troutfest event is being run in partnership with the Australian Trout Foundation (ATF) and would highlight the vast recreational fishing opportunities on offer around Eildon and throughout the state.
“This event will be a trout fishers paradise, with tours of our Snobs Creek hatchery, guided fishing clinics, casting demos and much, much more,” Mr Dowling said.
“There will be something for fishers of all ages with activities for the kids and a Fishing Hub where you can learn the latest from organisations like the VFA and ATF, Fishcare, VRFish, Maritime Safety Victoria, our Women in Recreational Fishing Network and Native Fish Australia.
“Trout are a key component of our record 10 million stocking effort, with close to two million browns, rainbows and tiger trout stocked across the state in the past 12 months. These stockings are thanks to fishing licence fees and the Victorian Government’s $35 million Go Fishing Victoria plan.
