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).

Further information:

  • $20 non-refundable fee which includes the one-on-one guided experience and gear hire.  This applies to walk-ins as well. 
  • Salmon is weighed after being caught and the cost is $35 per kg landed weight.
  • All fish are gilled and gutted for free. Filleting costs $12 per fish. 
  • There is complimentary packaging with ice and either an insulated bag or a polybox.
  • You must purchase what you catch - there is no catch and release.
  • Please book online to guarantee your spot.  Choose a time and go through to checkout.  You will receive a booking confirmation by email.
  • We may accept walk-ins, depending on guide availability on the day.
  • Please only book for the number of fish you want to catch and pay for e.g. to only catch one fish, only book one spot regardless of how many people in your group.  If you want to catch 2 fish, book for 2 salmon.  DO NOT change the quantity in the cart.
  • Catch-A-Fish currently operates between 9am and 4pm daily. Hours are staffing dependent.
  • The pond contains salmon between 2kg and 5kg.  If you catch a salmon over the 5kg upper limit, you can swap this for a smaller fish (subject to availability).
  • Children 12 years and under must be accompanied by an adult.
  • It is highly likely you will catch a salmon, but this is not guaranteed. If you don't catch a fish, your $20 experience fee will not be refunded.  This charge will cover the guide's time, equipment use and valuable fishing information given to you by our guides.

Great experience!

Great experience - would highly recommend. Our kids really enjoyed it and the salmon was delicious. Note that if you have kids wanting to catch a fish they will only allow 1 child to catch it - they can't swap rods part way through.

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.

First Time Fishing

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.
