Eildon Pondage

A shallow 150 ha regulating pondage, directly below Lake Eildon. Stocked annually with stripped brood fish (3YO), surplus 2YO fish, and more recently advanced yearling brown trout from Snobs Creek Hatchery. Usually contains more brown trout than rainbow trout. Stocked fish range between 100g and 4 kg. Boating is prohibited and there is a bag limit of 5 trout per person per day on the pondage and for 100 in downstream in the Goulburn River. Recent trials of stocking advanced yearling fish (200-250 mm) in October-December to cater to holiday fishing pressure appear to have been successful. Wading is permitted but caution is recommended as the water level can rise rapidly and the old Goulburn River course is deep and often fast flowing when water is being released from the Pondage into the river.
