Before you cast
Check the pond-status flag
We fly a colored flag at the ponds so you always know what's open. Green means go, yellow means we've paused fishing for a bit, and red means no fishing that day. When in doubt, give us a call before you head out.
Today's pond status
Green flag — Open
Yellow flag — Temporarily closed
Red flag — No fishing
Ponds are open. Come on out! Look for the colored flag flying at the pond when you arrive.
