Kids 12 and younger can fish for free and take up to two trout home if they wish. Everything’s provided including the plastic bag to take them home in. This is one of the most popular attractions at our shows and it’s become a “generational feature” with grandparents who caught their first trout in the pond now taking their grandkids. And to make things really interesting we’ve added several trophy-sized trout in the mix as well…so hang on!
