2009 Eagle Lake Trout Spawn

Ths album contains photos of this years spawn of the Eagle Lake trout. Every year CDFG collects millions of eggs from our trout to plant not only back into Eagle Lake but many other lakes in the state as well as many other states. Artificial spawning has taken place by CDFG since the late 40's and back to the late 30's when PG&E employees took spawners and collected & fertilized eggs for planting in Lake Almanor. Some were also shipped to New Zealand by PG&E folks back then. Having been in New Zealand for decades, they actually thought they had their own species of trout until it was determined through genetic testing that the N Z trout were actually Eagle Lake trout. The Eagle Lake trout is a very adaptable trout species which makes it one of California's leading propagation game fish. CDFG collected nearly 6 million eggs in 2009 spawn. The biggest fish coming in this season was 23.6 inches long.
