Eildon Trout Farm

A $2.50 entry fee per person and $2.50 rod hire fee gets you into some well-sized dams and ponds with a decent fishing rod. Three smaller dams contain segregated rainbow trout, brown trout and salmon, although the latter is a lot harder to find. A larger lake has all three species with other smaller fish - anything but the three above species is free to catch. As a catch and keep fish farm, you're sure to find some decent trout and salmon - our trout was 1.5 kg - enough to feed about four to six persons. Extra facilities on site also include some picnic tables, a bbq and coffee. Benches and seats are located around the lake, but bringing your own camping chair makes it a bit more relaxing. Trout is priced at $20/kg and they gut and clean everything for you. Failing a lucky catch in the dams or lake, there is also a "Desperado Pond". But hopefully you won't need it....
