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).

I live in Hong Kong so growing up I had loads of salmon sashimi in many top notch Japanese restaurants. Honestly fish caught here are just as good as those high end Japanese restaurants. The only thing is we ended up having too many fishes for two person and used 5 meals to finish all haha, be careful cos this farm raise fish as large as 3 kg and two person can hardly fishing two fish. The catching experience is also brilliant! Well instructed, fun and no fuss ! Highly recommend
Mr 6 yr old had a great experience fishing for the first time. He did need support from dad, but the guide was amazing. She had great patience and explained everything very clearly. She made the experience fun and memorable for us. Highly recommend.

Guide was amazing .. son loved the experience
Only negative was that it's bit of a money spinner for the company .. all the salmon that you can catch in the fishing pool are very big salmon .. all around 5 kg and bigger .. so you end up having to buy a near $200 fish at the end .. and taking home 4 kg of salmon meat ..
If they had 2 to 3 kg normal sized salmon to catch .. would make it far more practical and affordable for the average family
