I hate saying "Google it"..
But there is a place in Abbotsford I believe.
It's a catch and keep where you pay for what you catch.
It's not C&R where you pick and choose.

But you should catch fish.

Someone else will chime in with the name.

This teaches kids catching,. Not patience.

100% Fraser Valley Trout hatchery. I believe it's $10/2 hours per person (it was when I worked upstairs, but it may have changed - phone to ask).

You get an instructor/helper down at the ponds with you. They supply bait and tackle/rods. There are some beautiful fish down there this year too in the 3 pound range.

Just realized this reply is too late, but it's still useful info for next year or for anyone looking to take their kids somewhere to fish where they should get a bunch for a good price!
