Trophy Trout Proof of Life
Posted: Thu Feb 24, 2011 10:49 amNot nice to tease with a storm coming in this weekend but we wanted to show you what the Kern Valley Hatchery has been up to.
The attached photo is Mike Mencarini with his catch of a trophy trout that was recently stocked along with normal plant. The unique Trophy Trout Program has placed excellent size fish into the upper Kern River for years. The program permits the holding and feeding of extra trout numbers until they reach 4 to 6 pound size. They are released with regular trout at various plant locations from Kernville north to Brush Creek. An extra large number were released on the 16th of February.
