If you love to dine on fresh fish, this is the place to go. The ponds are fed by cold water springs, and the farm feeds the fish a high-quality diet. The result is rainbow trout with firm flesh and a wonderful, mild taste.

Once you’re done fishing for the day, take your fish to be measured. The price of the fish is determined by its size. They’ll clean your fish for free, and for just 50 cents each, they’ll even fillet it for you.
