She even drew maps for me since I wasn't familiar with the area. She almost promised me I'd catch fish at a certain lake, and she came through! I'd definitely recommend this place for any of your fly fishing needs!

The lady I spoke with was very knowledgeable about the area, the best spots to fish, and what they bite on. When you visit, check out the hand-built nets they sell. Truly works of art, but a little out of my budget. Lastly, if you have a hard time mapping the storefront, try 1489 Main Street, Gardinerville. Hwy 395 is Main Street.

There are placards lining a half mile loop that you can easily walk through and see what remains from a grand hotel with a dark past and a kinda dark history to follow. There is beautiful green grass with several picnic tables and grills available. You won't believe that you are right off the highway because when you're here you are completely surrounded by beautiful nature! And they have these beautiful fishing ponds! They were bursting with frogs, baby fish and tadpoles. We all really enjoyed our visit and will be returning!

There is plenty of parking, bathrooms and paths and signage to help you find your way. There is a primary dirt path that makes a large mile long loop through the main park area. The history of the area is very interesting. During the week, you feel like you have the park to yourself. I imagine it gets quite busy during the summer and on weekends. A very nice park, free admission (your tax dollars at work) spectacular views of the mountains, and a great way to learn about the history of the area.

As soon as we parked, we were greeted by the friendly "grandpa" who welcomed us in. Once inside, a younger gentleman got us started and did an excellent job explaining everything in detail, answering questions, and making sure everyone felt comfortable before we began. The setup is fantastic. Your rod, bait, and bucket are all provided, and the facility is clean and well maintained. Fish are priced by the length of your catch, and there is no catch-and-release. They even have a smaller pond with larger fish if you're looking for more of a challenge. The fish were biting! In just about two hours, our group caught 10 fish. There are picnic tables, benches, and a hand-washing sink, making it easy to relax and clean up afterward. When you're done fishing, they offer several processing options at very reasonable prices. For just $2 per fish, they'll clean it, and they also offer filleting, vacuum sealing, and even fun photo opportunities with your catch. The customer service throughout the entire experience was outstanding. A couple tips: there's very little shade, so definitely bring sunscreen, and the mosquitoes can be active, so bug spray is a good idea. If you're visiting South Lake Tahoe, this is an absolute must-do activity for families, couples, or groups of friends. The staff genuinely made the experience memorable. And don't forget to tip--they absolutely deserve it! You can leave cash or simply add it to your credit card transaction.

We had a lot of fun here today. We were worried about there being a crowd because of the…read moreJuneteenth holiday and Fathers day weekend, but there was no line at all when they opened at 10am. There are 2 small parking lots. The one closest to the entrance opens exactly at 10am. The other one seems like its always open. They have everything you need to fish for trout. They supply the rod, bait (worms and salmon eggs) bucket, nets, a metal rod to hit the fish on the head, and a hook release tool that helps take the hook out of the fishes mouth. They give you instructions on how to safely handle the fish. We arrived at 10, and we started to get a little frustrated when we realized it was past 11am and we had no fish yet. We just needed to figure out the technique. We finally ended up taking out the worm bait and casting it back out rather than letting it sit. That seems to attract the trout better. Once we figured it out, we caught 3 big fish by 1230. We had our 3yr old and 11mo old with us. We brought our kids wagon to push them around in. Our 3yr old had so much fun. There are 2 separate ponds. One has smaller trout, the other has large trout. If you don't mind going all out and you dont have a limit on spending, its worth fishing on the larger fish side. We caught 3 fish and the total came out to $211. But we knew it would be expensive, dont let that scare you. If you don't want to spend that much, just fish on the small fish side. At the end, they only charge you for the size of each fish, and $10 for the bucket of items. They also clean the fish for you and put them on a stick so you can take a family photo together. They will also offer to put the fish on ice in a bag. We took our fish to McDuffs afterwards. They tell you theres a minimum wait of 2hrs, but they ended up getting us in within 30mns. Great place to eat! We'll be coming back here to fish again for sure! We're already talking about coming back next weekend.
