Try Your Luck Pond Fishing!

In Europe, fishing for carp and other “rough” fish has been a popular pastime for centuries. Now American anglers – both bait and fly fishermen ­- are falling in love with the sport of Carp Fishing. As anyone who has hooked a carp can attest, these hefty brutes fight harder and longer than just about any game fish you will ever hook!

The Adventure Village offers a one-acre pond full of Carp, catfish, and fresh mountain trout, weighing from 1 to 30 pounds. The fishing pond is open to the public year-round, as well as providing village tenants with the opportunity to catch that fish of a lifetime. After a quick photograph, all carp must be released. Monthly tournaments during the spring, summer and fall add to the challenge of hooking and landing these whiskered, magnum-sized members of the minnow family.

Whether you are fishing for fun on your own or part of an organized tournament, rest assured that carp fishing is a family-friendly pastime at The Adventure Village. No alcohol, drugs or loud music is permitted and our regulars are a friendly bunch, who are willing to help a fellow “carper” land a big fish or offer advice about rigging and baiting. In addition to rental rods, and rod holders, food and beverages are conveniently available at our Village Store. We also sell a variety of scented carp baits, hooks, strike-alert beepers and other fishing accessories.

We do ask all fisherman to abide by The Village Catch-&-Release Rule for the Carp and catfish. However, you may catch and keep as many trout as you are able. We even offer a nice fish cleaning station with lighting and hot/cold running water. Just bring along your fillet knife and you are set. Delicious trout cooked over an open wood fire!
