The Big Trout is a 10-metre-high fibreglass model in Adaminaby, New South Wales, Australia, a popular fishing spot for trout.[1] Built in 1973 by local artist and fisherman, Andy Lomnici, the Big Trout is part of more than 1075 Big Things located throughout Australia.[2] Originally conceived by Leigh Stewart, the Snowy Mountains Authority assisted with funding, and work on the trout started in 1971.[3]
Construction
Andy Lomnici used a frozen trout as a guide, and built the final work in fibreglass over mesh and a steel frame. The completed Big Trout stands at Script error: No such module "convert". and weighs Script error: No such module "convert".. The scales were produced by covering the work in mesh, adding a final layer of fiberglass, and then removing the mesh before it set.[3]
In 2007, the trout was repainted and restored and in 2012 the work was refurbished to celebrate the centenary of the Snowy River Shire.[1][4]
