From the organiser

Catch a trout. Find a pink tag. Enter to Win $1,000!

Experience the thrill of trout fishing in the spectacular Snowy Mountains with the 2026–2027 Snowy Trout Challenge.

Set against the breathtaking alpine scenery of Lake Jindabyne, Lake Eucumbene and Talbingo Reservoir, this popular fishing competition invites anglers of all ages and abilities to cast a line for their chance to win.

Hundreds of specially tagged rainbow trout have been released into the region's waterways, each carrying a distinctive pink tag. Catch one, photograph your fish and submit your catch online to enter the monthly $1,000 cash prize draw.

With seven monthly prize draws throughout the season, there's plenty of excitement waiting on the water.

Fish from the shoreline or launch your boat and explore some of Australia's most beautiful freshwater fishing destinations. From peaceful mornings beside the lake to memorable fishing adventures with family and friends, the Snowy Trout Challenge is a wonderful reason to experience the Snowy Mountains beyond the winter ski season.

Make a holiday of it! Enjoy the region's welcoming country towns, local hospitality, accommodation, dining and spectacular natural landscapes.
