Lake Camanche is excited to announce that we will be planting approximately 90,000 lbs of sterile, triploid trout this fall and winter!

These fish are coming from the Mokelumne Fish Hatchery, right in our own backyard. 20,000 lbs of trout will be planted at the end of October, followed by 10,000 lbs each month until May. These plants are funded by the East Bay Municipal Utilities District in cooperation with the California Department of Fish and Game.

Just to clarify, Lake Camanche will continue to plant trout from the Mt. Lassen hatchery in addition to the 90,000 pounds of trout coming from the Mokelumne Hatchery.

About Lake Camanche

Lake Camanche sits in the rolling foothills of the Sierra Nevada and is located in the heart of historic gold country. Camanche is one of California's premier bass lakes. The reservoir covers 12 square miles, is 150 feet deep, and has 53 miles of shoreline when full. Only a two hour drive from most of the San Francisco Bay Area, you can get-away for a great weekend at Lake Camanche without spending half your weekend getting there. Both the North and South shore provide a variety of recreational activities and services including: tent and RV camping, cottage rentals, boat rentals, boat launch, and well stocked stores with a full line of groceries, camping and fishing supplies.

Lake Camanche is one of California's premier Bass fisheries. Camanche's bass population includes; Smallmouth, Alabama Spotted and both Northern and Florida-strain Largemouth Bass. Other species to be found in Lake Camanche include; Trout, Catfish, Crappie and Bluegill.

 

We look forward to making Lake Camanche and Lake Pardee a fun and safe part of your boating season.
