ACTION AT BERRYESSA TROUT PENS!

Wednesday, April 20, 2016, Markley Cove Resort, Lake Berryessa.  STAN WONG, who heads up the Trout Pen Project, had been checking water temperatures regularly at the pens since early April.  The cooling trend kept the temps around 62-64 degrees and Stan determined conditions were perfect for the fish release.   Back in January 2016, approximately 750 pounds of healthy trout were delivered by California Dept. of Fish & Wildlife and were placed into the pens at the end of Markley Cove docks.  Volunteers provided the man-power and Markley Cove folks fed and watched them grow until release time.

EAGLE LAKE Getting Ready to Soar!

The water level continues to rise!  Pine Creek, the lake’s major source of water, began running on January 30 and has continued to run non-stop since.  Reports of snow pack in higher elevations as well as the continuing wet weather patterns have certainly helped to provide the lake with a positive look.  The tules, thriving along the shoreline again, have a definite green cast.  Anxious anglers are smiling!

Good Press from KENT BROWN, host of "Ultimate Bass" Radio, KHTK 1140AM Saturdays 5-6AM.  Check out the video - from Outdoor Channel's "Strike-King's Pro Journal". 

Kent & pro angler SHAW GRIGSBY filmed the episode right here on Folsom Lake! Kent explains why the bass get to be so big!

Due to not reaching the desired minimum participation we have reluctantly decided to cancel our Pardee Derby scheduled for Saturday and Sunday July 23rd and 24th. The limited number of signups would not allow us to provide payouts reflective of the derby fee or meet the expectations of our supporters. Thank you to all that have entered. A refund will be forthcoming.

The Annual Christmas Party, well-attended by about 70 CIFFI members & Board of Directors, was held on Wednesday, December 16, 2015 at the Elks Lodge, Sacramento. 

CIFFI is in its 25th year, and significant changes dictate the Foundation’s direction and efforts.  The important thing is, CIFFI continues to stand strong and committed to its original goal of improving angling opportunities for the anglers of California, in a cooperative effort with California Dept. of Fish & Wildlife.
