About

The farm specializes in rainbow and brook trout, stocked regularly in well-maintained ponds. It offers a simple pay-by-the-pound system for your catch, making it accessible for anglers of all skill levels.

The trout farm takes its name from the nearby English Mountain, a prominent feature of the region’s landscape.

The farm contributes to local tourism and offers a glimpse into the region’s outdoor heritage.

Visitors can expect a peaceful day surrounded by natural beauty, with ample shaded seating areas near the ponds.
