Go Fishing in Victoria
Go Fishing in Victoria and Catch a New Hobby
Now is the time to drop a line in the water and get hooked on fishing. Fishing is a great social activity for family and friends and a perfect way to explore Victoria’s wilderness and waterways.
Get away to the inland waters of Victoria and spend some time on the water's edge with your family, experiencing a new fun-filled activity.
As part of the Victorian Government's Moving Forward action plan for growth in Provincial Victoria, recreational fishing has been recognised as a major social and economic contributor to local economies.
In order to boost recreational fishing and tourism opportunities through the Go Fishing in Victoria initiative, 5 Premier Lakes are regularly stocked with 'ready-to-catch' fish and Family Fishing Events are frequently held to promote fishing as a family activity.
The Victorian Government is working closely with local councils, angling clubs, Fishcare volunteers and the Victorian Recreational Fishing peak body (VRFish) to implement this project.
