Paradise Fishing Preserve
Trout and Bass Fishing
Set in the beautiful Poconos, Paradise Fishing Preserve has two fee fishing ponds; one stocked with trout and one with bass. All fish caught must be paid for. We can fillet or gut your fish for you here, and send you home with a fresh, nutritious, and delicious meal!
Don’t feel like fishing? Grab a baggie of feed and take a walk around some of Paradise’s historic hatchery. Throw some food in and watch the trout eat!
No license required!
Open March 14th!
Monday – Friday: 8am to 4pm
