Lake Cuyamaca is well known to San Diego anglers. Recently, five Alpers trout were tagged and released into the lake. All but two have been caught. Catching a tagged trout will reward the angler with motor boat rental and 4 fishing permits for 1 one day!!!
Mt. Lassen will be stocking 1,200 lbs of the finest trout once again this week!! Last week 50lbs of trophy trout between 8lbs and 12 lbs were stocked.
In addition to its trophy trout, Lake Cuyamaca offers a fully interactive GPS fishing guide (to help you find the fishing hot spots at the lake).
Good luck catching those two tagged Alpers trout!

Laguna Niguel Anglers Get Alpers Trout
Folks in northern California are very familiar with the trophy size trout that the Alpers family provides to local lakes and rivers. But now anglers Laguna Niguel Lake are enjoying these exclusive trout too!
Laguna Niguel Lake has recently begun importing Alpers trout from the Eastern Sierra region for their new stocking program. From Mid-November through April, these trophy size rainbow trout are being stocked in Laguna Niguel Lake.
Alpers trout average 2-5 pounds when they are planted into a lake. So these trout can get pretty big by the time anglers catch one!
Little 5 year old David Alexander caught his first fish ever - and it was a 3 lb. whopper! David was using PowerBait and fishing from shore. Likewise 11 year old Matthew Williams also caught a 3 pounder using a green power worm from a boat! There are plenty more stories like these!
By the way, if you've ever wanted to try your hand at fly fishing, here's your chance to get some expert instruction at a very low price! Every Saturday, Laguna Niguel Lake offers beginning fly fishing classes from 7 - 9 a.m. Admission is $30 and the class is limited to 10 anglers. This opportunity is too good to pass up if you've ever considered learning fly fishing. Even experienced fly fishers can learn a thing or two about fly fishing on stillwater lakes!
Lugana Niguel is getting high marks from local angers for their quality fishing experience (and they have a great web site too!).

Alpers Trout Head South
Alpers trout are considered by many to be the cream of the crop in hatchery trout. They typically weigh anywhere from 2 to 16 pounds when caught by anglers. And until recently, they've been exclusive to anglers in the Eastern Sierra region.
Anglers have been catching world-class Alpers trout out of San Joaquin river, Hot Creek, Owens river, Mammoth Lakes, June Lake, and other waters in the Eastern Sierra region for years.
Alpers trout get their name from the family that raises them. The Alpers family turned the Alpers Owens River Ranch into a private fishing ranch in the 1920's. Several years later (in the '70s and '80s) they started raising trout to stock their own family ponds. In 1984, local communities asked the Alpers family to grow bigger trout for local waters. Alpers trout were stocked in addition to those stocked by the Fish and Game Department.
Alpers trout are raised in pure streams and ponds on Alpers Owens River Ranch. They're hand-fed, are typically 2-3 pounds in size before they are planted into neighboring lakes and rivers. The Alpers family have perfected growing trout famous for their size, fight, wildness, and their tender pink flesh.
However in 2004, the Alpers family business was nearly ruined after bilogist found an invasive mud snail in hatcherys water and trout. But the Aplers family rallied to rid their water and fish of the New Zealand mud snail.
Today, raising trout is the Alpers family primary occupation. Over 60,000 pounds of Alpers trout are stocked in lakes and streams from southern Inyo County to northern Mono County. And now, anglers in Laguna Niguel can experience the excitement of catching Alpers trout!
