Half the fun of fishing is simply finding the best place to fish, and whilst most fishermen have their best spot picked (oh, I know I do!), you will be hard pressed to get any quality locations from them! However, the Kiewa River, Ovens River, the Mt Beauty Pondage, the Buckland River, and Lake Buffalo are all hot spots when it comes to fishing with plenty of Trout to catch.
