Catch and Release
Catch & Release is allowed in the Main Pond for fly fishing only, using a fly with a single barbless hook. You must be familiar with the proper way to release a fish in the water. Dragging the fish on shore and holding it for picture-taking is not permitted! The cost is $40 an hour for each flyrod.
