'Chasing Rainbows'
Embark on a guided challenge to stalk and catch a Trout "on the fly" at the gin clear waters of Chalk Springs Fishery in Arundel. After the fishing concludes you will spend the afternoon in our Fins & Forks Smokehouse kitchen where you will learn how to prepare and cure your catch for the smoker before award winning chef director Michael King demo's some of our favourite seasonal recipes and letting you take a seat at the Chef's Table for a 6-7 course tasting menu. Your smoked fish is then posted out to you a few days later when its ready.
Available Year Round, 2-4 persons
Weather & Conditions
As is sometimes the case weather or conditions can get the better of us and it can become unviable to sail. Fishy Rob makes a call on suitability the evening before our boat fishing experiences. If BIF1 cannot get out to the fishing grounds we will switch your booking to our "match the hatch" package so as not to have wasted a day and potentially your long journey. Our 'Chasing Rainbows' package is rarely weather affected. If something unusual happens and we cannot fish we will reschedule/refund your booking with us.
We always ensure our kitchen is stocked with the target species to match your package so you will always get to prepare, cook and enjoy them (even if on that rare occasion, you do not manage to catch one)
