Fishing

Nestled on the slopes of Mount Gordon, Marysville Trout and Salmon Ponds was first developed in the early 1980’s. It lay dormant for many years until it reopened to the public in December 2003. The ponds are fed by spring water flowing from the surrounding mountain forests. The water is pure and crystal clear, no farm or fertilizer run-off, and no human or chemical contamination. The water flows by gravity through aqueducts that wonder up the valley floor.

The ponds have been nurtured to form a natural ecosystem and habitat for the fish with reedy banks, overhanging trees and gently flowing waterfalls. The ponds have become a habitat for many aquatic animals including, nymphs, mud eyes, frogs and worms. During spring and summer the fish feast on the many flying insects that land on the water.

Picnic tables and gas barbecues are scattered around the ponds so you can have an enjoyable picnic and cook your fresh rainbow trout or salmon.
