The thrill of the catch

A family-friendly fishing oasis

Big Brown Fish & Pay Lakes is a ten acre facility with three beautiful stocked fishing ponds.  In two of the ponds we stock our own hatchery-raised rainbow trout and golden rainbow trout, and occasionally our own brook and brown trout.  Our third pond is stocked with largemouth bass.  No fishing license is required to fish in any of our ponds.

We take pride in the fact that we raise our own fish to stock in our ponds; it gives us complete control of the quality of our fish.  We typically stock trout between 13 and 18 inches (occasionally larger, but never smaller) and bass 12 to 16 inches.  Trout are stocked weekly between March and November and bass monthly between April and September.

Whether it’s your first time fishing or you’re an experienced angler, you can have an enjoyable experience here.  Everything you need to have a great day of fishing can be purchased or rented here, including: fishing poles, worms, and lures.  Once you catch all the fish you want, we can gut or filet them for you at our cleaning station.
