First time visiting and will return. Had a slow start on the big pond. We caught and released a total of 9 bass plus some that got loose in the pond surrounding the main pond. There were tons of sunny fish.

We didn’t catch anything BUT that’s fine. It’s called fishing not catching. I am giving this place a 1 star because the staff is rude, disrespectful and aggressive. The front desk was great. It was the staff member that drove aggressively towards us to tell us that we were fishing in the wrong pond. We immediately apologize and told him we thought it was part of the large pond and suggested a sign to avoid future confusion since it’s a large property. He then proceeded into a rant that the pond is leased to the house across the street for $1000 a month and how people can never follow directions and there is no need to put signs anywhere it’s just common sense. We let him finish since he was clearly triggered. We left immediately after. I don’t know who hurt him emotionally but he was out of place. I hope he works through whatever he is going through and finds inner peace.

Was about to come here today with a few people but we are not going due to bad reviews about the staff. So many bad reviews on the staff. Maybe one or two reviews is ok. Not back to back about rude staff.

I enjoyed the visit but fishing wasn’t good there besides the fishing and the price to get in everything was great. Maybe it wasn’t my day but the hatchery was nice and the prices are cheap if you want some nice pond fish go there

Took students there for a tour. Becky showed us around and was really knowledgeable and kind. Their facility is amazing and they have a great operation. They do pay to fish and have so much diversity for bait. I plan to bring my son there to fish soon. Great locally owned business!

STAY AWAY!!! I don’t know how this place has such high reviews. The staff is extremely rude and unprofessional. They talk to the customers like they’re idiots and are extremely rude to them. Not only was this my experience but there were other people being treated poorly as well. There was this elderly man who was asking questions about fishing and they were rude and insulting to him. They literally degraded the elderly man! I understand it’s hard to find good workers but you just don’t higher low lives either!!!!

We were there for ~3 hours and we did not catch a fish. Infact, there were 10+ people fishing around the lake but no one cought one while we were there. $10 per person would have been worth it if we cought a fish or two.

Worst place to go fishing, staff was very rude, definitely not worth the money also felt some racism from the owners/ managers. They need to learn how to speak to the customer and explain their rules a little better ,very unprofessional, wouldn’t recommend to anyone

Great family owned fish farm & bait supplier.Koi,goldfish,shiners,flatheads,rosyreds all sold by the pound! Aquatic plants, catfish, hybrid stripers, and all other kinds of fish for sale to stock ponds. Very knowledgeable and they can even probably survey your pond to figure out what the best mix of fish to stock your pond so it will be a healthy and self-sustaining.There is a pay to fish Lake there where you can rent a boat as well if you want. There are a lot of great fish in there! Of course they sell Bait and Tackle as well as some food or snack items.

Great prices, fun time. It's a private area so no need for fishing licenses and such. Just walk in and talk to the front desk. It's that easy. I came with a group of friends, all of whom had limited experience fishing. The staff was eager to assist us in setting us up and giving us tips for getting started. The hatchery was well maintained and scenic. The rental fishing gear was solid quality. If I was from the area I would go often.

I went here with high expectations and I was not disappointed. It was a hot day outside, sun glaring, and people were catching big fish, including myself. I caught my PB channel cat and it was my first time there. I can't wait to go back and take my children to have some fun catching fish. There are also GIANT bass in there. I saw one get pulled out and my brother saw another one get pulled out. Just a really great place to go and the staff is friendly, they have all the bait you'll need, and they take cards which is great, because I pretty much never carry cash. I wish I would have gone sooner. Now that I know how good it is there, I'm going to try and go more often. The fact that it's catch and release is nice too, because some pay to fish places make you keep everything really limiting the time you can fish because of having to pay for the fish. Not here, here you can throw them back and fish all day, it's a great deal! I HIGHLY recommend this place. They also have boat rentals which I'm hoping to do some time as well. If you aren't sure whether or not to go, let me help you, you should go. It's worth every penny! Plus it's super affordable for a really fun time.

Mr. Kurtz was very helpful and knowledgeable. He gave me a lot of good information on the best way to stock our pond.

Great scenic little lake for fishing! The lake is the centerpiece of a surrounding fish hatchery. Rich, the owner, runs and maintains the property with a high standard. He also offers various live baits and light tackle for sale. There's a nominal $10 entrance fee for catch-and-release and for another small fee you can keep what you catch and pay by the pound for the fish you choose to keep.Definitely worth the trip to check it out.

Unfortunately all of the ponds were very murky with silt. The only thing to be caught in any larger pond was catfish on the bottom. A few smaller bass and blue gills in a small clear pond at the back were all we caught.

I stopped at the Farm yesterday. Almost embarrassed to say I've lived in the area for decades and did not know anything about the business. These folks are truly a Family run business. Hard working, regular folks, like most of us. Couldn't be friendlier or more accommodating. As it worked out, I purchased bait from the both the home base and remotely from a vending machine. Greeted by smiles and left smiling. My go to supplier from now on.

Super friendly, they deliver and we get all our bait from them. Minnows, shiners, worms, buckets, etc. Nice place, it's a half an hour drive from where we're at but totally worth it. Kurt's a cool dude
