Come and Try day hopes to teach budding Green Hill Lake Anglers how to fish

The brand new event aims to teach fishing beginners how to fish and is possible this summer thanks to an injection of funding from Fisheries Victoria.

Gwenda Allgood said strong crowds are flocking to the shores of Green Hill Lake.

"A lot of [people] are actually asking us what do they need to fish, what do they need to put on the lines to catch the fish, and how they go about it." Ms Allgood said.

"We just thought that this was an opportunity to share that information we have."

Ms Allgood said summer fishing around Green Hill Lake has already seen great interest this summer.

"We've got people coming from everywhere," she said.

"We've got people coming from Horsham and Ballarat who are having great success out there with catching fish.

"We also have a lot of people from overseas that come and stay at the lake.

"We're hoping that over that long weekend with the visitors we've got and people coming in, we can make inroads into teaching people how to fish."
