    Mountain Stream Fishing

    Nearby is the beautiful mountain stream called the Delatite River. This river provides good trout fishing most of the year. (Closed for fishing June to September to allow fish to spawn) Many people fly fish or bait fish here and its shady banks are good locations for those in the family who would rather read a book.

This is a fully licenced facility with a bar that opens at 5pm in the evening and all are welcome to enjoy the bar atmosphere and the feeling of going back in time.
