Who Are We?
A group of stream and fishery conservationists and trout fishermen just like you who grew tired of waiting for state Fish & Game departments to stock local streams, enforce public laws on lakes, public ponds or streams and to fund hatcheries with license fee monies legally designated for that purpose.  So………we decided to do it ourselves, started overseeing and reporting local stream impacts, educating local people about watershed issues, purchasing and stocking quality, private-hatchery raised trout paid for by our friends, volunteers and contributors.  We have made amazing progress by working aggressively in all of these areas.

We are sponsored fiscally by a 501c3 IRS Public Benefit Nonprofit Corporation- The Frazier Park Visitors Center™.  All contributions, expenses or purchases related to our operations are fully tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.  Email us if you would like to make a contribution at shopoutd@qnet.com . 

What Do We Do?
If you simply want to stock trout in your area, we will run a survey on any stream, lake or pond of your choice and talk to regulatory agencies to determine if it meets stocking guidelines in terms of eligibility, water quality, temperatures and flows.  If its in our immediate service area, we will visit the location and make suggestions to you regarding habitat enhancement that you should consider before stocking.  That work may require permits and permit fees from your local stream management public agencies, which we can guide you on, or coordinate for you on a consulting basis.

We can assist you in establishing local stream and watershed protocols, procedures, inventory systems, mapping and conservation projects.  Educating your community’s residents about the economic value of a strong fishery and about local water issues is THE key to running a successful conservation, stocking and protection program- we can guide you on that.  Your town will benefit in numerous ways by doing so.  Many public agencies offer grants and educational resources for assisting you in this effort.

As soon as funds and a facility become available, we plan on rearing our own trout and involving local schools in that part of our project, from eggs to fingerlings and planting..........

Why Do We Do It?
To enhance trout habitat and populations, increase recreation opportunities, improve economics in lake, pond or stream-served communities, protect or improve local water resources and, if necessary, use the existence of trout fisheries to protect water bodies or streams that may otherwise be jeopardized by pollution, development, diversions and other negative activities.  The presence of trout in a water body or stream adds strength to numerous legal protections under county, state and federal legislation.

Stocking Procedures, Coordination and Pricing
Under our trout stocking program, once a survey and permits are completed, we will apply contributions from you and others in your neighborhood to purchasing quality trout from the closest private hatchery.  If we do not raise enough contributions for the lake, pond or stream of your choice to make it profitable enough for the hatchery to stock that body, we will contact you about applying your contribution towards stocking other locations in your region that we are working on.  In So. Calif., plan on paying approximately $3.50 to $4 per lb. of trout.  Prices elsewhere are totally dependant on the price we are able to purchase the fish for.  Your best bargains are in the small trout sizes, where you can get 2 to 3 fish per pound.  PlantATrout™ adds about $1 per lb. to the price we pay to cover our transportation, oversight activities, phone calls, gas and enhancement analysis expenses.  We will be happy to share more info about that or other revenue and expense figures with you at ANY time.  Call or email us for an exact quote for your area.

Permits
Trout stocking or aquaculture permits from local Fish & Game or Fish & Wildlife service agencies may be required for stocking fish in the stream or water body of your choice.  Fees for those permits will be the responsibility of the requesting stocking party.  In California, that fee is about $250, and a regional biologist may wish to survey the water body or stream prior to stocking.

What Lake, Pond or Stream and Location?
Step one is to Email Us and let us know the EXACT location where you are interested in stocking or setting up a conservation project and your anticipated budget and # of volunteers.  We will respond and let you know about other requests and contributions we have received for that location or any nearby locations.  If you are looking to partner with other contributors, we will refer you to them also.
