I was debating between a fishing trip with a boat captain or the trout farm and ultimately chose this because of time flexibility. The ambiance is nice and children had a great time. They also learned hands on how to fish. They caught 3 large trouts which cost nearly $200, but it is still cheaper than going out with a captain on a boat.

Had read about this place and the family enjoyed the experience. Small ponds with a beautiful view of the mountains. We got 5 rainbow trout in less than an hour. Owner explained we would need to keep and pay for everything we caught and could either take it to a local restaurant for them to cook for dinner, take it ourselves, or donate it to an animal rescue unit.

For first time anglers, this is a great spot to learn. This is a private facility so you don’t have to worry about a license, tackle or bait. You pay for the fish you catch, no catch and release allowed. The fish are cleaned for you and iced down for your trip back home. They will also vacuum pack them for you if you plan on keeping them for a longer period of time.

Called ahead to get the latest info during the Corona Pandemic and was assured they were open with safety restrictions in place. They gave us their hours and told us the best times to show up. We got there before they opened and were first in line.
That was a big plus as it filled up fast.
Our six year old grandson had a ball; he caught three fish on three cast. His first fish ever and his experience was the highlight of our time in Tahoe. I would drive back nest week just to share in his excitement and joy. The staff from top to bottom were friendly and helpful.
You can take the fish with you or donate them to the homeless or the baby bear rescue. All in all, a great time and worth the $37.00 for the fish and $15.00 for the Tee Shirt....

A great plàce for the grandxhildern's first fishing experience. The owner was good with the kids telling them to call out "get the net" when there was a fish on. My gràndaughter yelled it at every tug. I would recommend however that the minimum age would be 5. The three year old was more interested in plàyong in the dirt. The kids had a good time. So did gràndpa.

This place is great, after our first visit today I am sure this will be a regular stop when we are in the area for years to come. We have a pre-schooler and thought it would be fun to let him try his hand at fishing. He had a blast, the whole place is very kid friendly, you only pay for what you catch, and everything he needed to start fishing was provided for us when we checked in. Definitely worth a visit.

We just loved the place. Fishing is quite easy here because the fishing pond is full of trouts. The family and stuff driving the business are very welcoming, helpful and nice people. They also gave us a great hint about where to prepare our fish: Mac Duffs Pub. They made an incredible fish platter for us.
Good value for the money and a fun place to enjoy the day on Lake Tahoe!

This is exactly as advertised. It is a fish farm. That being said it was a lot of fun for everyone. My teenage daughter was the first to catch a fish on the “Huckleberry Finn” style rod. It’s just a rod with line and a bobber. All 3 kids caught fish and we had them cleaned. Looking forward to dinner. Sat and talked with the owners for a while waiting our turn to get the fish cleaned. They are so friendly and very interesting people with a passion for fishing all over there world. Our 5 fish were between 15-17 inches and seemed pretty average size coming out of the pond.

Wanted to do something with my son that he hadn't experienced yet, and a short trip on our first day in Lake Tahoe. It's a pond with clean/clear water, with lots of trout in it. You get bait, tackle, and a bucket. We caught two trout. The was a first time for both of us, and getting the trout into the net and off the hook was challenging but fun. The scarier part was bumping the trout on the head with the metal pipe. The fish cleaning experience was a lot of fun too. The guy running this is super friendly and taught my son all the steps of cleaning a fish. Fish cleaning is only $1. We took with us 2 trout (total length 31") and the total cost was $33. We barbecued the trout in a pocket of aluminum foil (butter/salt/pepper). It was great!
Overall a great experience.
