Lake Cuyamaca introduces the World Famous Alpers Trout
Lake Cuyamaca has long been known as the San Diego answer to the high Sierras, many of families have fished for the Rainbow Trout , German Brown and Steelhead trout, without the long drive. Lake Cuyamaca is proud to announce the introduction of the Alpers trout.
For the first time in San Diego the tail walking Alpers trout will be planted starting in November 2006. The management of Lake Cuyamaca has made arrangements to have this prized fish put in the lake. This was done without knowing the problems of the San Diego city lakes and the lack of stocking on their part.
ALPERS TROUT, THE HISTORY
Alpers trout aren't just any fish. Hand-fed and raised in the pure streams and ponds of Alpers Owens River Ranch, Alpers trout are exclusive to the Eastern Sierra.
Alpers trout average 2 to 3 pounds and are prized trophies sought by anglers. The Alpers family has perfected growing trout famous for their size, fight, wildness, and their tender pink flesh.
In the family since 1906, the Alpers Owens River Ranch was originally a cattle ranch. It was converted into a fishing ranch in the 1920s. During the '70s and '80s, Tim Alpers and his father raised fish primarily to stock their family ponds. In 1984, local communities requested that Alpers grow and stock bigger trout to supplement fish being stocked by the Department of Fish and Game.
Today, raising trout is Alpers primary occupation. Local and private funding helps stock over 60,000 pounds of Alpers trout in lakes and streams from southern Inyo County to northern Mono County. "Alpers trout are exclusive to the Eastern Sierra. These are fish raised on the bounty of the Eastern Sierra to benefit the local economy. You won't find these trout anywhere else in the world," Alpers said.
Alpers Trout are your best chance at taking home home a trophy trout fish story. These are not your normal stocked fish These fish put up a fight, they are large and they even make a good tasting dinner.
