Garfield Lake is one of 70 lakes across the state that has been replenished with rainbow trout ready for school holiday fishing activities.
About 35,000 rainbow trout have been released across Victorian lakes as part of a State Government initiative.
Minister for Outdoor Recreation Steve Minister Dimopoulos the initiative offered a fun, healthy and free activity for the school holidays.
"Our nation-leading fish stocking program will ensure Victoria's recreational waterways are brimming with plenty of fish, which will also reel in additional business for local shops and communities," he said.
Backed by the $96 million Go Fishing and Boating plan and recreational fishing licence fees, Victoria stocks more fish than all other states and territories combined.
The rainbow trout are just some of the 10 million fish the Victorian Fisheries Authority (VFA) has stocked into the state's waters across 2024/25.
Rainbow trout are considered an ideal catch for beginners because they take a variety of widely available, low-cost baits and can be caught with lures cast and retrieved from the shore.
