Adaminaby is a popular base from which to fish on Lake Eucumbene and surrounding rivers.
The town centre features a large sculpture of a trout, standing 10 metres (33 ft) high and Weighing in at 2.5 tonnes, it was one of the earliest of Australia's big things.
Built by Andy Lomnici, a Hungarian born artists and sculptor, who was living in Adaminaby and had the idea for a sculpture. In 1969 it was suggested to the then Adaminaby Lions Club that a sculpture of a large trout be commissioned.
The project took four years to complete and was in position ready for the official opening of the Adaminaby Lions Club Picnic Park on the 3rd November 1973.
and was restored and repainted by Skins Alive in January 2007, with funding from the Snowy River Shire Council.
