shaver lake trophy trout project - hard at work

Trout Planting,  by the Shaver Lake Trophy Trout Project, is under the direction of long time planting director Bob Bernier.  We will be planting about 1,800# of  3 to 7 pound rainbows in the spring 

These rainbows are not your normal concrete pool raised fish.  Desert Springs Trout Farm is a private hatchery that has been under the same ownership and management for 24 years.   An artesian spring and artesian wells supply  the facility with a constant flow of pure fresh water. The water remains a constant 60° Fahrenheit regardless of external weather conditions and air temperatures, which provides their fish with the optimal conditions to continue to grow and thrive year-round.  

There is no cost or any other "catch" to the program.  Purchase your license, come up to the lake, drop a line and catch one of these beautiful Rainbows at Shaver Lake!  Feel free to "catch and release" and please send us a picture of your fish before you do!

The hardworking S.L.T.T.P. members along with Bernier have been planting the trophies for a decade with financial help from donors, and businesses but primary funds are generated  from the annual fundraising dinner each August.  Please note the next dinner,  August 10, 2024, will be at Lyle's Lodge - Camp Chawanakee, Shaver Lake - see "Annual Sportsman's Dinner" section for more information
