| MISSION STATEMENT: To restore a brown trout fishery through non-profit means for the purpose of preservation while providing an improved angling experience for future generations |
We're back at it in 2008! This is our fourth year of growing beautiful trout in a modified tomato bin right here at Paradise Shores. In 2006 we raised and stocked over 16,000 brown trout all from our tomato bin right here. We were also able to raise enough donations to purchase several loads of catchable browns and rainbows that were stocked throughout the season into the Bridgeport Reservoir. In early May, 2007 we loaded our tomato bin once again with beautiful brown trout and released them at the beginning of October. Our program has already funded several trout stockings throughout the east walker drainage through the spring and summer of 2007. Now in 2008, We just received over 8000 fingerling brown trout that were donated to us by the Department of Fish and Game. We plan to grow them out to a cathable size and release them in October of this year. Volunteers will raise and care for the trout in our tomato bins until they are large enough to survive on their own. We will plant the brown trout into our local waters and keep several hundred in the bins to grow them out until the end of the season. Our long term plan will enhance the local fishery and improve the quality of brown trout caught from our waters. We would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who has generously donated to our program and all the wonderful people who have volunteered their time and efforts to help make this program a success. Every donation we receive goes right back into the system. We cannot accomplish our goals without help. We need donations from caring people who believe that a small group of people can do big things. Please send your check or money order to: Bridgeport Fish Enhancement Foundation P.O.
