THE RULES

Discounts Require Fishing the Designated Pond

To receive the group discount, all fish must be caught from the designated group pond; fishing other ponds will trigger regular pricing for the entire order, and the group pond may change between visits so verification on arrival is recommended.

What the day feels like

What the School Fishing Experience Feels Like

The program is built around one pond set aside for groups: children and leaders gather at that pond, cast for pan‑sized trout (roughly 6"–10") under the Farm’s group pricing, and share the simple, social work of landing fish together. Birthday parties can use this pond if scheduled on a weekday, but groups should confirm which pond is assigned on the day they arrive.
