TroutFest draws visitors to town

08th Oct 2024

The TroutFest held over the long weekend once again drew people to Guyra from far and wide. While they were in town there was plenty to keep them busy, from workshops to market stalls, open gardens, art displays and plenty of fishing related activities.
The festival is an annual event held to celebrate the start to the trout season and injects extra dollars into the local economy.
One of the big drawcards is the kids fishing clinic and even the strong winds didn’t deter the youngsters. They were able to learn new skills from experts - from casting a line to catching a bite. fish care and handling, and rules and regulations- with the hope that the extra knowledge will promote a love of fishing for the next generation.
Other attractions which were well supported was the art show and metal masterpiece competition, which attracted dozens of entries.
Adding to the festive atmosphere were the market stalls which filled Bradley Street and the display of vintage cars.
Many visitors also took the opportunity to book tours to the Costa Tomato and Deano’s Trout farms, promoting local produce.
The Rotary Club Book Fair, held in conjunction with TroutFest was well supported raising more than $3,000 which will be using to support project in the community.
Three local gardens which were open to the public attracted a steady stream of visitors, adding to the overall success of the weekend.
TroutFest was first held in 2016 and is now an annual event which attracts visitors and continues to deliver on its objective to bring business to town and to promote the Guyra district as a trout fishing destination.
