WHAT HATCHERY!!!!!!! Ask KWIN!!! Before any hatchery can be built it must get the go ahead from DF&G WHY???? because any fish that is raised has to prove that it is not evasive to the native fish already in the native ecosystem that is found there. You just can't raise say a species of Brown Trout that I would love to see stocked into BBL as these fish would grow huge while feeding on the fish already living in there without a MILLION $$$$ study by half of every dept. already functioning in Sacramento. Be serious the PLAIN FACT is that no one wants to be the dark horse right now when elections are just around the corner.. I could go on and on!!!!!

Uuuhhhh, I guess that’s a “no” on any info about the hatchery....
this is the article that was printed in the LA Times, states that Big Bear Water district is spending 3.5 Million on the facility ?

This is going to be a private hatchery on private land to stock a privately owned lake. Not too much input needed from DFW. There are many privately owned hatcheries in the state. The biggest delays, if any will come from the county, whose permit process is notorious for being slow. And most construction in the valley is usually put off until the spring. But with the very mild winter this year, they may be ahead of schedule. The Big Bear Lake Fishing Association just had a meeting last wednesday, so some more information may be coming out soon.
Hilarious....because I/we have no say in who can and cannot build a private hatchery. However, a private hatchery will be held to the same standard as CDFW hatcheries in regard to what species they can and cannot stock as it pertains to the lawsuit filed by the CA Center for Biological Diversity that threw the handcuffs on what CDFW can raise and stock in specific locations.
Honestly, I hope BBMWD can secure the funding to build their own hatchery.
