Trophy Trout / Pen Culture Update

[Gary Coe]

Our trophy trout pen plants were completed for 2009 earlier this month with some VERY nice Rainbows from Crystal Hatchery filling the pens in Shasta Lake. We saw 20 inch fish going in! Look out next Spring when they're released!

Over 3000 lbs. of fish were placed in the pens and these fish will weigh over 10,000 lbs. at release.

I'd like to welcome our newest co-sponsors (and newest pen location/addition!), Silverthorn Resort to the program. Stop by and say "Hello" and take a look at those fish!

And I'd like to thank Greg Graham, President of Oregon Kokanee Power for helping out and taking these pictures.

Most of all, thanks to our members and supporters. Without YOU, there wouldn't be a Trophy Trout Pen Program or Kokanee Power for that matter! Thank You so much...and Merry Christmas to all.
