The Big Trout is located 52 kilometres northwest of Cooma in Adaminaby. The town of Adaminaby is close to a popular trout fishing spot, which makes it an ideal location for the 10 metre tall Big Trout.

This huge fibreglass structure was built by Adaminaby artist Andy Lomnici. It was completed in 1973 and is an icon for the beautiful mountain town of Adaminaby. The Big Trout underwent a restoration project in 2024 by Sydney-based mural painter Ryan Loughnane.

The iconic sculpture proudly takes her place alongside the 150 “Big Things” scattered throughout Australia.
