Value on your next Fishing Holiday

One of the best things about a fishing holiday is knowing that you have a good chance of catching a fish! Once I tallied up the per-fish cost of fishing when we lived in the beach suburb of Wamberal, NSW. If you add the cost of gear, cost of bait, cost of getting to a good fishing place (boat or beach), divided by the number of keepable fish caught, I think the price was about $150.00 per fish!

Well, you can be sure that the average cost per fish caught on the farm is a lot less! You do not need your own gear (in fact it's not allowed on the farm due to the risk of disease transmission), we supply you with a rod, lures, net etc. AND we clean and gut the fish for you, pack them on ice or even prepare them for BBQ-ing. The costs of rod hire and fishing is listed below...

Times: 10:00 am to 4:00 pm Sun, Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri. (CLOSED TUESDAY & SATURDAY, Closed certain Public Holidays)

We will be CLOSED BOXING DAY, 26th Dec. 2010.

 Rates

General admission to the farm is free of charge

 

Farm Tours: Generally run at 11:00am and 2:00pm, weather permitting. Cost is $7 for adults, $5 for children. Pensioner and group discounts are available.

 

 

 

Fishing: We operate on a catch and keep basis only, all fish caught must be paid for.

Charges are: $8 per rod, all gear supplied. Caught fish are cleaned and gutted and charged at $15.00 per kg. (Fish range from 300g to 2.5kg and the costs therefore range from $5 to about $38.00). Larger fish are harder to catch, generally. (No fish may be returned to the dam once caught.)

 

 

Conditions of entry: We regret that it has become necessary to implement a $750.00 on-the-spot fine for the use of ANY fishing tackle not supplied by Arc-en-Ciel Trout Farm. Our property remains disease free and we do not want to risk that. The use of other equipment places this farm in contravention of our liscence conditions and consequently we need to pass this on to visitors who do not comply with these conditions.

 

 
Use of gas BBQ’s is free for paying guests, a small charge is levied for use of the BBQ only.
