Catch-A-Fish Guided Experience

Please note: the $30 per salmon experience fee does not include the price of the salmon ($35/kg).

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! (Please note: catching a salmon is not guaranteed - see bottom note below).

• Please only book for the number of fish you want to catch and pay for 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 salmon.  DO NOT change the quantity in the cart.
• Catch-A-Fish currently operates between 9am and 4pm daily. Hours are staffing dependent.
