Fisheries Victoria and the Eildon community will again host the Goulburn Fishing Festival on
5th and 6th September 2014, coinciding with the opening of the riverine trout season. Bring the family and make a long weekend of it. There will be fishing workshops and accommodation prizes along with professional cooking demonstrations. For the kids, free entertainment all weekend including a jumping castle, face painting and lots of fishy activities. The festival also aims to highlight the terrific trout fishing on offer in Eildon’s rivers, pondage and giant lake. Alternatively, learn more about Lake Eildon’s increasingly popular native fishery, which is based on stocked golden perch and Murray cod. Trout and Murray cod are grown at our Snob’s Creek hatchery, which will be open for free tours on Saturday. http://www.depi.vic.gov.au/fishing-and-hunting/recreational-fishing/recreational-fishing-initiative/goulburn-fishing-festival-2014
