Yarrambat Lake is destined to become a fishing hot spot after being topped up with 1000 rainbow trout.
The trout were grown at the Victorian Fisheries Authority’s Snobs Creek hatchery and released at a catchable size.
The fish were among more than 32,000 rainbow trout released into 80 bodies of water across the state.
Yan Yean MP Danielle Green said rainbow trout were a great species for inexperienced fishers because they were easy to catch and took a wide range of baits and lures.
She said the fish were funded by recreational fishing licence fees and a $35 million state government Target One Million drive to get more people fishing more often.
