Hunting and fishing in State forests

No better way to get away from it all than going fishing or hunting. From Lake Eildon to Rocklands Reservoir, Big River to the mighty Snowy River, there’s a lifetime of places to visit and enjoy the best of Victoria’s fishing and hunting across Victoria’s forests.

A recreational fishing licence is required to go fishing in any Victorian waters. You need a current game licence to hunt game species, such as deer, duck and quail. Read up on the licence requirements before you go.
