Welcome to the Marysville Trout and Salmon Ponds. We are committed to provide you with a special and safe place to participate in one of the greatest Australian pastimes - fishing.

It is surely one of the most memorable moments in you life when you see the eyes of children and adults light up with delight when they catch their first fish. I’m sure those of you who have caught a fish in the past can still remember that special moment, the thrill and exhilaration of the strike and the excitement of seeing the silver flash as you land your prize. And they’re very healthy to eat too.

And for me, well, I can’t think of a more satisfying and relaxing moment than to coming down to the ponds and battling it out with some of natures most special creatures – the Rainbow Trout and Atlantic Salmon.

Activities

Catch and Keep Fishing

If you want to catch a fish, catch lunch or dinner or wish to take fish home with you then this is the spot for you. We have ponds of varying difficulty and fish between 400g and 3kg in size.

Please note all fish caught must be kept and payed for. You may not throw fish back into ponds as the fish will stress and die.

We can supply all the fishing gear you need, rods, bait, buckets, nets and friendly assistance or you can bring your own fishing gear and we can help to rig it up for you.

Touch Tanks

Catch a fish in the touch tanks. We stock tanks with small rainbow trout and visitors of all ages can try to catch a fish with their hands. Kids can spend hours trying to catch the fish, the fish are quick and slippery and is fun for everyone.

Playing in the touch tanks is free

Feed the Fish

Feed the fish and watch the feeding frenzy. Visitors will receive a special mix of fish food that is used to grow our fish and directed to selected ponds. The fish are always hungry and jump out of the water in a mad dash for the food.

A container of fish feed is free to all visitors.

Barbecue and picnic areas

There are numerous picnic shelters and bbq areas around the ponds for visitors to relax and have lunch. It’s a great way to spend the afternoon. Bring along some salads, bread, plates, drinks and cook your fish on the bbq. For a small fee we will even prepare your fish with herbs, spices and foil ready for cooking.

Bring along some chops and snags for those who don’t like eating fish. Alcohol may be brought if kept in moderation. On weekends and public holidays it is wise to book a picnic shelter so you don’t miss out.
Picnic Shelters and gas bbq’s are free.

Fish Sales

For those who don’t have the time or don’t want to fish we have fresh fish and smoked trout sales available.
