Alpine Trout Farm — Local services in Piedmont

Alpine trout farm is excellent place to start if you want to enjoy catching fish straight from the farm, specially for kids. You can catch so many fish inside time as the fish are within their fish tank and designated ponds. The trouts are really tasty and very big sizes can be caught how's the weather up there are some rainbow trout and Californian trout. The owner is very and the price of the court fish is Per kilo. The take EFTPOS so don't bother if you can catch more. They offer cleaning up the fish and putting them inside a nice iced thermo box for long travel only for $5 for the box. Trout ranges from 16 to 22 dollars a kilo according to the size of the fish. In the farm there is nice place for for enjoying the tranquility and take your lunch snacks. There is an onsite toilet for real emergency, so the toilet should not be expected for public. It is just 1 and half hour from Melbourne. Worth visiting there. just less than half an hour from the great Amphitheatre Falls at the toorongo reserve...

We visited today and paid $60 for the kids to fish in the catch-and-release section. Unfortunately, they didn’t catch a single fish, which was disappointing given the cost. At the same time, we saw children in the catch-and-keep area catching plenty, which made the difference in experience very noticeable. We must have stayed past our allocated hour, because staff came over to us and we felt pressured to leave, despite there being nobody else in the catch-and-release section.

We were given two rods, all set up for us, one with red and white float and a hook for the play dough style bait, and one rod with a weighted gummi hook on the end. Bonus photo of a dead fish floating in the water.

On top of that, the toilet facilities were in very poor condition and really need attention.

It was a letdown overall, especially for the kids, and I don’t feel the value...

Kind of wheelchair accessible but could be hard on the wet grass. Definitely kid friendly. Plenty of parking on site. Noojee township not far away for a...
