Show Your Skills at the FAVORITE FISHING Trout Pond

What’s more FUN & EXCITING than watching a child catch a fish? Watching the grown ups having just as much fun. Whether it’s the first time or the umpteenth time…. the magic never goes away when the rod starting bending. The FAVORITE FISHING Mountain Trout Pond Simulator returns this year with more fun for the young and young at heart…. farm raised rainbow and brown trout ranging from 1/2 lb to up to 3 lbs are ready for rod bending action.  Keep’em or Release’em.  Just to make it a little more exciting,  we’ve tagged a few dozen of them and if caught… the angler will receive a limited edition FAVORITE FISHING T-shirt. (while supplies last)   

(Fee charged to fish. Limit of 2 fish if kept. Tagged fish must be released)
