Are we open in the winter?
We are open Saturdays only in the winter starting November 1st. We do NOT open the farm to fishing on Saturday’s that have temperatures below freezing. This is for the health and safety of our employees as well as our guests at the fish farm. This means that if the temperature stays below 30º F throughout the day, we will close our fishing facility for that day.

We have two options for fishing, there are our catch and keep ponds and then our fly fishing pond. Our catch out ponds are to keep, you cannot throw them back and we charge by the inch of the fish. If you want to go to our Catch and Release Pond, you pay by the hour and equipment is NOT provided. This pond is $15 per hour per rod.
Do we provide all the equipment?
We do provide all of equipment for the regular catch out ponds. We do NOT provide equipment for the fly fishing pond. You will need to bring your own fishing equipment, including barbless hooks.
