The ultimate guided one-on-one salmon fishing experience! Catch your own chinook salmon in the glacial waters next to our cafe. No gear required (all provided) and no fishing experience needed. Take home your cleaned (gilled and gutted) whole salmon, or you can ask for it to be filleted for you (extra charge applies). This is a family-friendly attraction - either catch a fish yourself or sit in our landscaped garden and watch the excitement. This is a big fish experience - no tiddlers here and expect them to put up a fight as you reel them in! (Please note: catching a salmon is not guaranteed - see bottom note below).

A really good experience. My guide was extremely helpful and when my first salmon busted off she made sure i hooked another before my time was up. The left handed reel on the spare rod was a challenge.
It was a great experience to catch a 5.5 kg fish after only a few minutes! The guide was very helpful. We had some of the salmon the same evening and it was delicious.
Totally enjoyable. Recommend to all
The guide was very informative and it was a lot of fun all around.
So good! After 4 days of trying to catch fish in the wild we decided to go and catch one on our way home. The experience was great, well worth trying. The salmon was delicious 😋
