Great, fun and easy experience! I'm giving it a 4, instead of a 5 because the employee's fileting skills leave a little something to be desired. We grilled up our filets and they were delicious! 🤗

We found that place 5 years ago, since then been visiting at least 2 times every year. Satisfaction guarantee! No doubt the best place to catch some trout in NC

Friendly operator. Reasonably priced experience with the beauty of nearby Grandfather mountain. I go every time I'm in the area.

I am bringing my family up on June 2nd and none of us have fishing poles. Do you provide them?

Sandie Wyllie | Aug 2, 2018
Prasad Prakash Bhangale | Aug 3, 2018

They provide you with a fishing pole, a can of worms for bait, a plier like tool and bucket. If you catch something and want to keep it, you can buy it at the rate mentioned. They will even clean and cut fillets of your fish if you ask (for nominal fee). It is their private pond, so you do not need any license. Have fun!
