FAMILIES looking to entertain the kids during the school holidays need look no further thanks to the stocking of around 30,000 catchable size rainbow trout into 77 waters across Victoria.<\/p>\n

The stockings were funded by the Labor Government\u2019s Target One Million plan, which is investing a record $46 million to get more people fishing, more often \u2013 including kids eager to cast a line.<\/p>\n

Rainbow trout are the ideal target species for children and newcomers to fishing because they are relatively easy to catch and take a variety of baits and lures.<\/p>\n

Several of the lakes are in suburban Melbourne and regional centres providing the perfect opportunity for beginners to try fishing for the first time.<\/p>\n

Most of the lakes provide safe and convenient access for families with fishing platforms, bankside tracks, picnic tables and other facilities.<\/p>\n

Minister for Agriculture Jaala Pulford said fishing was a great way to enjoy the great outdoors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to get more families into the great outdoors, enjoying time together and being active, which is why we\u2019re improving fishing opportunities for beginners and experts with better facilities, easier access and more stocking.<\/p>\n

\u201cTarget One Million has stocked record numbers over the last 12 months, releasing more than six million fish to improve inland fishing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSchool holidays are just the perfect time for youngsters to get out there and try their luck wetting a line.\u201d<\/p>\n

Family Fishing Lakes to be stocked for these holidays with rainbow trout include:<\/p>\n
