After a two-year hiatus, this past Saturday, July 23rd, the annual Packer Lake Fish Day was again co-sponsored by the Sierra County Fish and Wildlife Commission, the Yuba River Ranger District of the Tahoe National Forest, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

More than 120 children fished at Packer Lake, which was stacked with 1,000 lbs. of catchable trout by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Specially tagged fish were caught by two children, who were awarded $20 for their prize. There were many fun and educational activities and gifts-all intended to promote fishing and foster an appreciation of our natural resources.
