The ultimate guided one-on-one salmon fishing experience!  Catch your own chinook salmon in the glacial waters next to our cafe. No gear required (all provided) and no fishing experience needed.  Take home your cleaned (gilled and gutted) whole salmon, or you can ask for it to be filleted for you (extra charge applies).  This is a family-friendly attraction - either catch a fish yourself or sit in our landscaped garden and watch the excitement.  This is a big fish experience - no tiddlers here and expect them to put up a fight as you reel them in!

Further information:

  • $30 non-refundable fee which includes the one-on-one guided experience and gear hire.  This applies to walk-ins as well. 
  • Salmon is weighed after being caught and the cost is $35 per kg landed weight.
  • All fish are gilled and gutted for free. Filleting costs $10 per fish. 
  • There is complimentary packaging with ice and either an insulated bag or a polybox.
  • You must purchase what you catch - there is no catch and release.
  • Please book online to guarantee your spot.  Choose a time and go through to checkout.  You will receive a booking confirmation by email.
  • We may accept walk-ins, depending on guide availability on the day.
  • Please only book for the number of fish you want to catch e.g. to only catch one fish, only book one spot regardless of how many people in your group.  If you want to catch 2 fish, book for 2 participants.  DO NOT change the quantity in the cart.
  • Catch-A-Fish currently operates between 9am and 4pm daily. Hours are staffing dependent.
  • The pond contains salmon between 2kg and 5kg.  If you catch a salmon over the 5kg upper limit, you can swap this for a smaller fish (subject to availability).
  • Children 12 years and under must be accompanied by an adult.
  • It is highly likely you will catch a fish.  Occasionally the salmon won't take the bait. We may not be able to run the experience when the probability of catching a salmon is low.

Awesome Experience!

What a fab thing to offer! We stopped in for the purpose of the catch a fish experience and it did not disappoint. Our guide Russel was knowledgeable, kind, passionate and fun. Our 2 young children each caught a salmon, they weren’t instant hook ups and they enjoyed the fight bringing them in. Very well set up, and thought out! Highly recommend, we’ll definitely do it again!!

Experience was good however not too tourist friendly compared to hooked Wanaka, you will need to process the catch yourself so book your accommodation afterwards accordingly.

Gave experience and learnt some new skills

It was an amazingly fun experience. Our instructor, Russell, was super patient and taught us so many new skills.

Salmon was superb as usual, of course!
