peshewah Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I took my 7 year old boy to a trout farm today to go fishing. Catch and release for $20 an hour or you buy them by the pound(on the hoof) and you have to keep what you catch. I don't care for trout so I let him fish the hourly rate and within a hour he is wore out. Needless to say he caught one every cast. They were huge, some 4-8 lbs in one area. He said they were too big so he went to a area where they were smaller. He had a blast and I enjoyed watching him and taking the fish off the hook. If you never been to a trout farm they are privatly owned so you don't need a license or trout stamp. Usually it is spring fed and damed off area's and stock big time. They look like a swarm of bees and you could probably throw a bare hook and catch them. Its alot of fun for kids and fairly cheap if you fish for a hour. We have one about 12 miles from the house. Lota fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 very cool. Great way to entertain a youngster. Not a bad price for one hour of catch and release entertainment. I'd sure be interested to know the trout farm's name and location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyboy Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 We went fishing off a Navy pier about 2 weeks ago. We caught some pretty big sea trout. the biggest was around 6 lbs.......... I took my 10 yr old niece, and she absolutely loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
