Eildon Pondage Family Fishing Festival
Picturesque Eildon Pondage will be the scene of another full day of fun-filled activities centred on fishing. The Department of Primary Industries will stage a Family Fishing Festival at this popular location again in Autumn 2009.
This free event will include instructed fishing workshops for children led by angling club volunteers and informative talks by local Fisheries Officers. Participating children will have further opportunities to develop their fishing skills by attending casting and knot-tying clinics provided by experienced Fishcare volunteers. All bait and equipment is provided for the workshops and activities.
The ever popular Flathead Fred will have kids and adults alike singing and laughing with his entertaining stage shows and the day will be topped off with a jumping castle, fishing prizes, give-aways, displays, stalls and entertainment for the whole family.
Eildon Pondage is a great family spot for a day trip or to stay overnight in the region and enjoy the event and other attractions which are on offer.
To pre-register for the workshops or for more information ring the DPI Customer Service Centre on 136 186.
The 2008 Family Fishing Festival was run in partnership with the Murrindindi Shire, Lions Club of Eildon, VRFish, various angling clubs, Fishcare Victoria and other stakeholders.
The Pondage is stocked with advanced and larger Premier rainbow trout ( 1 kg) regularly throughout the year (subject to suitable water conditions).
