All of our fish are microchipped to accurately track their weight and to stop theft. Also, during the offseason, we feed the fish pellets several times a week. These pellets keep the fish nice and healthy and bulk them up ready for the next season!

There’s a bay window in the main room that looks out over the lake, perfect to see the fishing conditions with your morning coffee.
