Dockside fishing at Fort Wilderness

Anyone know if this is still offered, renting rods from the Bike Barn?

There's no mention on the WDW fishing page, which just references Port Orleans - disneyworld/recreation/fishing/

We were intending to head to FW today, but won't waste the trip if they don't do it any more.

(NOTE: we don't want to do the (expensive) boat fishing excursion!)

In case it helps anyone else: yes they do.

Caught a first fish after about 30 seconds!

How much was the rental charge and for how long?
A great idea for our trip in May.

Rental is essentially either half an hour or �all day� (or more than half an hour).

We went for the latter and bought a tub of worms and it cost around $22 all in.

I think the half-hour rental+worms would cost around $5 less.

My husband and youngest daughter would love this. We are staying in POR this summer, where do they do it in PO? Is it riverside or french quarter?
