NEXT EVENT THE LAKE

31st TROUT SEASON OPENER SET FOR SATURDAY, NOV. 22
Once again the days are getting shorter, the weather is cooling off and water temperatures are dropping. These signs all point to the return of rainbow trout to Lake Mission Viejo. The 31st Annual Trout Opener is scheduled for Saturday, November 22 at 6 a.m.
Anglers will find 8,000 pounds of beautiful trout, hungry for a variety of lures and bait. Once again, the fish will be traveling all the way from Nebraska. When the trout first arrive on the third Tuesday of November, the lake will be closed to fishing for a few days until the Saturday morning season opener. The “no fishing” period allows the trout time to acclimate to LMV waters and prepare to do battle with the Lake’s skillful anglers.
The anticipation of the initial trout stock always attracts a large crowd of Opening Day anglers. The rental fleet is being spruced up with new batteries, anchors and paint. Morning boat rentals will be busy on opening weekend as well as on most weekends following the bi-weekly stocking of trout. The second stock delivery is scheduled for Tuesday, December 2 prior to the first tournament of the year.
