We will receive our 1st trophy trout plant next week sometime, not sure which day they're coming though. This year we will be getting in "tagged trout" as well. Some of the fish will have tags valued between a Free Ice Cream or a $100 bill!! This spring is going to be fun and exciting as you will see "money fish" and more "trophy sized fish" than last year. The bigger trout plants will come every other week through March, then increase to weekly as we start releasing the net pens of fish we are raising here already.

Rick Cox, pictured landed a 5 lb. 8 oz. trout off the beach on Powerbait last week. Kevin & Rich Moore, Photo #5 trolled with Rapalas and took a beautiful stringer of trout home, including a 6 lb. 8 oz. Rainbow. They were not deep, trolling close to the surface worked the best for them. Gabriel Jaramillo brought his Dad, Photo #1 fishing and was pretty pumped when he hooked his 5 lb. 4 oz. Rainbow on Powerbait, making his Dad proud!!

A nice group of neighbors from Plumas Lake came camping this week and had no problem catching trout while they hung out at their campsites. Sherri Howell, Photo #2 Diane, & Fiona, Photo #4 all caught lots of trout on Powerbait. Their friends Hal & Sue (Hot Lips) Swartzlander, Photo #3 also caught many trout. Sue wore her Valentine Lips in her photo in remembrance of their trip, just goes to show you the spouses that fish together, fall more in love together!!
