Entrance fees, then processing 8 fish, cost an additional $151.00 About $100 to much for 8 fish. Strongly don't recommend it, unless over paying is your thing! read more

Rainbow Trout Farm is easily hidden on State Route 89A. They're located just before you enter Uptown Sedona. This is a great family-fun activity. For $1.50/person, this includes the cost of admission, fishing bait, and the use of their fishing equipment. The check-in process was extremely fast, as you'll get a handful of bait and a bucket of water for the fish you'll catch. We did beat the rush and arrived about 30 minutes after they had opened. As the first ones to arrive, we had the advantage of scoping out our spot to fish. This is also great as the fish are hungry and ready to eat. So, within 40 minutes of arriving, we did catch three rainbow trout. We had caught 12", 14", and 16"! This was an epic activity to do as my son was extremely excited whenever we caught a fish and was eagerly happy to grab the net and remove the hook from the fish's mouth. Now, I do want to warn everyone that THERE IS NO NET FISHING, AS WELL AS CATCH AND RELEASE! You will be charged a fee of $25 if caught doing so. Now that we have caught our three fish, whichever fish you caught will be weighed at $1.25/inch. They do offer a cleaning service at the cost of $0.50/fish. Also, located around the ponds are a lot of grills and benches to cook your freshly caught, hard-earned fish. The grilling kit costs $1.50/fish, which includes a bag, plates, utensils, salt, pepper, butter, and garlic seasoning. There is a 2-hour limit use of the grill, but no cost to use it. Now, if you wanted to take your fish home to cook it, they can pack the fish with ice at $0.50/scoop of ice (one scoop would last about 30 minutes). Also, coolers are offered at $7.00/each, which is recommended if you plan a 2+ hour trip back to your kitchen. As a beginner to the fishing sport, this was a great activity to do with the family on your vacation! The reward of catching a fish, then cooking it right after, was amazing, and the fish was DELICIOUS!!! read more

Such a fun experience! First time at a trout farm - they provide the bait, rods and two ponds filled with trout. You pay per inch for anything over 8 inches and on average each fish caught is about 10 plus dollars. You must keep and pay for what you catch ( not a catch and release). For an extra fee you can grill your fish town if their many grills, have it cleaned and put in a cooler with ice. Picnic tables available too. The only thing to watch out for is having too much fun and catching more than you intended to spend on. But don't let that deter you- totally worth doing and an experience with fun memories. read more

Great experience since I have never caught a trout before. They are farm raised and used to the bait. I was just throwing the line in with out bait and they were striking at it. A little expensive for a couple of tiny fish but it was worth it. Come and try them out. read more

Caught 3 fishes within the first hour! We love how easy it is to check-in: grab a pole, get a bucket, and some bait. Once you catch your fish you can get it cleaned $0.50/fish or take home with ice. You pay $1.50/inch to keep your fish and can cook on the grills they have on site. We recommend the grill kit comes with lemon, salt, pepper, utensils, plate, and foil. Plenty of space for lots of people and children! So much fun! read more

So much fun!! Had a great time and the family had lots of fun beautiful weather and scenery.

Amazing location. Lots of trouts and overall a great stop Amazing views and very calm vibe, great spots for pictures and they cleaned our fish at the end, dog friendly and family friendly, we had a blast, be aware that if not a great experienced driver it's going to be stressful to get out since it's a curvy way and only two lanes But definitely worth it read more

It's circus fishing. The bait doesn't really work you have to trick the fish on just biting your line. Customer service was awful

Grab a pole, get some bait, throw it in and catch 'em! This is a great first time spot to get kids hooked on fishing! You pay per catch - what's neat is you can grill 'em up while you hang and soak in the views or they will clean 'em, pack 'em up and you can head out to enjoy at home! They kids had a blast. And we did as well. It was so much fun. A quick experience really and fairly inexpensive. They lost expensive part is IF if you catch a big fish. The rest of the experience is $1 or so! read more

This was our second time visiting Rainbow Trout Farm, and it was just as fun and relaxing as the first! My husband, our son, and I drive two hours just to spend the day here, that's how much we enjoy it. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the whole place has such a peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere. It's the perfect spot to slow down, enjoy nature, and create special memories together. Our son (11 months) enjoys watching us catch the trout, and we always leave with fresh fish and big smiles. Can't wait to come back again! read more

Super fun place to hang with the kids/family! It's almost a guaranteed catch if we're being honest, lol. You pay a really small fee per fisher ($1-$1.50) and you can use the grills here for free and can choose to bring your own seasonings/tools or you can buy some cheap here. They will clean the fish for you and you pay per catch and based off of the size of the fish. You can buy bait and everything or bring your own, depends on how prepared you want to be! I would recommend against dogs (unless medically necessary) and if you do bring one it must be well behaved and on a leash. It is a small-ish area with two ponds and not really any roaming space for the dogs, plus there is a lot of action going on that may be overstimulating. Awesome place to make a day trip! read more

This was a very fun experience! If you're in the Sedona area and looking for a day time activity that's exciting and requires nothing but yourself then this is it! My wife and I pulled out 6 big ones and grilled them right on the spot. Everything necessary was there on site and the staff was very helpful. read more

Keep an eye out for the driveway. It's a bit hidden!! Prices are $1 per fisher. Price per fish caught varies. They'll clean it for 50 cents. Check into Yelp and one fisher is free. They supply the stinky bait, pole and net. Don't know what the bait is, but flies love it. No catching with the net!! No catch and release. You pay for the fish you catch. I was so ready, unfortunately the fishes were smarter than this suburban girl. Sigh!! After an hour I gave up. No charge if you catch nothing. I thought I would be having a trout tonight but instead we went for Indian food take out. Most of the people who sucked gave this place low stars. I don't think it's right if you suck at catching fish. There's plenty of people who knew what to do. So 4 stars because I had fun. Minus a star because the bathroom was rank. Seriously gross. read more

SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT On a Sunday afternoon, came with expectations of a guaranteed catch to take home and have a scrumptious grilled trout for dinner. I have vivid memories of this place years ago with the ponds teeming with fish to the point they were jumping out of the pond to bite your hook as soon as you lower your line above the water. I dare say it wasn't even fun because it was so easy, catching them in less than 10 seconds. Some important ground rules: You must keep what you catch Buckets are free to use to hold your fish No nets allowed to catch fish Must use the rods on site (bamboo stick with a line tied to it) Must use the bait provided (feels like a ball of play dough) You pay small admission fee to fish plus each fish priced by length This day was a far cry of those bountiful days at the farm and was wishing it to be that easy again. There were just a few fish swimming around the banks with maybe a couple dozen in the center. I would drop my bait right in front of the fish and it would go around it. I would even hit the fish in the head with my bait as it swam by but the fish were unphased LOL You could see balls of bait just sitting all over the bottom of the pond. I don't know if the fish were full or were spoiled and tired of the same 'ol bait, but these were the pickiest fish I ever encountered. Maybe the influx of visitors after the pandemic cleared out the most of the fish in the prior weeks but there was hardly any in there. Needless to say- NOT ONE fish caught. The only guranteed catch is at the grocery store apparently. read more

An amazing place! I came up to do learn fly fishing and my guide Chase was very patient and extremely knowledgable. I feel he put me on a correct path for my fly fishing journey. After we were done he showed me around the operation. I have been planning on bringing my grandchildren up so they could catch some fish at the trout farm. I watched the very small kids catching their first fish having a wonderful time. There were tables and Barbecue's and every one was having a good time. I caught a beautiful 15 inch trout and the young woman at front was very helpful and cleaned my fish for me and answered all my questions. If all of this wasn't enough you are in a very beautiful part of Sedona! If you want learn to fly fish or introduce your family to fishing this is the place read more

Super fun and we caught fish fast! The day was perfect weather and service was great. It was pretty quiet when we were there. The fish is per inch so can add up fast. Bring your own foil, sides and plates/silver to save money. Quick trip but worth the time! read more

Rainbow Trout Farm - Fishing Near Me - Sedona, Arizona

This place is AWESOME! The guy that gave us instructions was super friendly. Sorry we didn't catch your name. My little family and I were visiting Arizona. After doing some sightseeing. We had some time left before driving back home to Vegas. So we went on the trusty Yelp, and found this place. So we're like why not use our time up here. There is no entrance fee to come in which is a plus, AND they allow dogs. Which was amazing, because we brought our two pups with us on this road trip. They provide everything you need for fishing. From the rods, to the hook, to the bucket to put your fish in, and bait. They also have bbq grill, chairs, and table. So you could enjoy your catch there. There are two ponds to go fishing in. There was a crowd on the pond to the right side of the place, and they were catching a bunch of trout. One after another, so you will not leave this place empty handed. We ended up going to the pond to the left to stay away from the crowd, and the first 5 mins of fishing. My husband caught the first fish. These fishes are smart. We were hoping to catch some big ones, but they were smart not to get lured in LOL! We caught some decent size ones, so we were happy. We left with four trouts to bring home. They charge you per pound. Which isn't bad at all. With four decent size trouts, getting them cleaned, and the bag of ice to put them in. We paid less than $40. They also clean the fish for you for a super super cheap price. Which I thought was convenient. They also bag it for you, so we didn't have to grab any ice and a cooler for our drive home. We drove 4 1/2 hrs, and no leaking from the bag. So he definitely packed it really well for us. We definitely will be coming back here when we visit again. Thanks for the amazing experience. read more

This is a five minute adventure and you better like trout. Yes cheap to actually do the fishing, but each fish cost $10 a piece. We went with the thought of actual fishing. This was literally stick pole in water and they bite. Not real fishing. You can't release the fish, so you have to buy them. After my kids caught 3 each (and they would have and could have caught 100), we walked away spending $70 and having to take home and figure out how to cook 6 fish. It was fun, but just know this is a five minute experience that ends up expensive. read more

What an experience! We did some hikes earlier on in the day and wrapped up the day with the sun setting while catching trout. Such a tranquil area. It takes a little time to catch on the fish's movement and activity, but once you do, you're reeling them in. I just wish they had more larger trout. We caught four, brought them home, and used a broiler to cook them. Delicious! I will visit this trout farm every time I go to Sedona. read more

FABULOUS FAMILY FUN!!! We loved every minute and had such a good time catching the trout!!! Especially our 6 year old as it was her first time fishing!!! Actually it's a great experience for all ages!!! So happy they cleaned them for us and we took them home and grilled them to perfection!!! Deee-licious!!! read more

This was a really fun place to go & explorer with my kiddos to get their first catch. It's not a catch and release place though & is kinda pricey for what it is but we made some wonderful memories with my Dad and he cooked & ate the fish and said it was delicious. So for that I'm itself we will come back again when we go visit Sedona. I think we paid $50+ for 4 small fish. I'm not exactly sure how the pricing works. They do charge a fee of $25 for using the nets so do not use the nets unless you want to pay a hefty fee. read more

Very crowded even on a week day. Fish were small ! And if they were larger it was because they were smart. Hung out for hour and a half with five people fishing but caught nothing. Luckily they didn't charge us to fish. Only if we caught something which was nice. Staff was friendly. We got ice cream to cool off from the heat. They were dog friendly which was another plus. read more

Rainbow Trout Farm - Fishing Near Me - Sedona, Arizona

The Rainbow Trout Farm in Sedona, AZ is the perfect place to take young kids or inexperienced fishers. Buckets, poles, nets, and bait is supplied by the venue. You are charged $1 per fisher and then a fee for each fish you catch based on size. You can have the fish gutted and filleted for a fee and a small fee also gets you a grill kit if you want to cook them on site. I went recently with a large group and we caught eight trouts ranging in size from 8 to 11 inches in length. The fish in the ponds are pretty smart so it was slow going until we realized if we threw in tiny pieces of bait indepent of the hook and pole to get the fish excited they would then grab bait on a hook aa soon as it hit the water. Our party was able to get in, catch our fish, and leave with them gutted and filleted in less than an hour. Perfect timing when you have two young kids in tow. I will definitelybe back with our kids next year. read more

Drove 2.5 hours here just to find out they're closed due to low stock. Definitely would've been nice if they had updated their hours or some sort. Very disappointing. read more

An absolute hidden gem! We loved the experience. A great place for the family to spend some time together. We fished and cooked our fish on the grill. The fish was delicious. Now that I am familiar with the system I recommend that people bring seasoning they might want to use. Although salt, pepper, garlic power, and lemon juice were provided, it was not enough for our liking. Also I recommend people bring a side or two to make a full meal out of it. We liked it so much we went back the next day for more. read more

Rainbow Trout Farm - Enjoying the grilled trout. - Fishing Near Me - Sedona, Arizona

Truly fun experience! Everyone caught fish within the first 20 minutes. Poles (long sticks with fishing lines and hooks) while rudimentary worked fine. Nothing fancy about farm, but lots of shade, seating and even bbqs if you wish to eat what you caught right there. Best part is they clean the fish!! read more

I haven't been to many trout farms in my adult life, but kids love this place. Arizona isn't exactly known for fishing, so to be guaranteed to catch a nice sized trout is rewarding for the kids. You pay per trout caught based on the length of the trout, usually around $10-13 each. They give you the opportunity to take your trout home on ice or in a cooler, or you can donate it back to the local fire department. The last visit I had the trout bagged up and I put them my Traeger smoker that night back in Phoenix. I'm not sure what they feed the trout but they came out excellent, almost tasting like salmon. If you want a relaxing way to spend an hour, I'd recommend it. read more

We went today (Saturday right in the afternoon) and we were the only ones there. It's a cute experience for families, but it's very quick and costs a lot to keep the fish you may or may not want. We caught 2 fish within 10-15 mins and they cleaned them and put them on ice for us for about $30. Lots of mosquitoes around but the area is cute and it's a fun stop for kids. The poles are a bit flimsy but lots of fish in the pond and a nice system they have set up. Wish they would have a hand cleaning area or hand sanitizer (or maybe we didn't see it while we were there). Cute place with surrounding nature but a quick visit for $$ read more

Fun time with kids. Caught 6 fish pretty quickly. Grilled rm and attention up. Terrific. Can't get fresher fish.

Mixed feelings.... We were there around noon on a hot summer day so I didn't expect my kids (both under 10) to catch much. They caught exactly zero fish. Others, mostly adults, seemed to be able to catch at least 1. The rules seem arbitrary and not really enforced, both in good and bad ways. You are supposed to use their bait, but I saw plenty of people not following this rule. I saw a guy catch the largest rainbow trout I have ever seen using bait he brought from home. The boys handing out the equipment seemed "over it" but that is probably typical for a summer job when you are a teenager. I asked for tips for my kids and they didn't want to help. To be fair, they aren't paid to be fishing guides but I would have thought giving some pointers while sitting in their shack wouldn't be the most difficult thing. The only time I saw them move was when they attempted to chase me down in the parking lot for what I guess they thought was me leaving without paying. I pointed out we didn't catch anything and they sheepishly walked back to their sitting area to get back to relaxing. Don't expect it to be easy for all ages and the rules on fishing are rather loose, so have the right mindset and some homemade bait! read more

I'm a pretty avid fisherman so when I look at a trout farm it's catching not fishing lol. That said, what an awesome run business! The staff was super friendly, and my fiance was able to catch her first rainbow trout. After catching a couple healthy looking trout, staff promptly cleaned them and provided a grill kit to use with their BBQ. We cooked them to perfection along with some of our left overs from our trip to Sedona. Add some beer and perfect weather and it made for a perfect day! Absolutely would return here to support a long running family business. Great way to introduce anyone to fishing. read more

Perfect for young children - success guaranteed. If you just want to have an enjoyable experience for the little ones- this is the place

This place is easy to get to located on 89A about 3.5 miles North of Sedona. The parking lot is tight when the place is crowded. There are two ponds and you pay for each fish that you catch based on the size, between $10-13 per fish. If the fish is very small they will release it back at no charge. They do gut and remove the gills of the fish but leave the head and scales on. They do pack the fish in ice to take home. If you do not like trout, you can use it for bait to catch catfish as an alternative. You pay for the fish you catch but you will definitely catch fish. My son had a great time there and would definitely go back. read more

Amazing staff great experience would 100 percent come back and will recommend to friends and family

What a fun spot! My friend and I came here quite a while ago but it was super enjoyable to catch trout here that we ended up making for dinner that night. I have zero fishing experience so it's a good spot for someone like me to be able to have it all done for me - they give you the rod, the net, and the bait and the trout are literally just in a pond so it's really the easiest fishing ever. Then, they'll prepare the fish for you so you don't have to do the gutting or any of that stuff. All in all a fun experience to catch your own fresh fish for dinner. read more

Looking for a unique family experience? This is it! A few weeks back, we took a little excursion from Flagstaff (where we were spending the weekend) to this Rainbow Trout Farm. It was the first time my kids were exposed to fishing, and they really enjoyed it. We all did! Thanks to the friendly, knowledgeable and patient staff, especially Tim, we caught a handful of staff and had a really fun time doing it. The kids were intrigued with the entire process, and unlike going fishing somewhere else, there were plenty of fish biting... we caught a handful of fish during our visit! As others have mentioned, this place provides you with everything you need... from the bait and fishing rods, buckets and nets... you pay for it but it's worth it for sure! They will even clean the fish for you. We didn't cook our's onsite, but we took it home and cooked it that night for dinner. My husband and I enjoyed it. The kids wouldn't eat it, but again, it was cool for them to see the "(fish) farm to table" concept in action. I recommend this place and imagine we will be back on future visits to Sedona / Flag! read more
