SoCal TROUT OPENER
Irvine Lake Tournament date is Saturday April 14th, 2012
Last year's Western Outdoor News third annual Irvine Lake Southern California Trout Opener (SCTO), event was an huge success.
The Forth annual SCTO is back, and hitting Irvine Lake Saturday, April 14th 2012. And the price is the same low price as last year, which is $45 for adults and $30 for junior anglers. And this includes your $22 gate pass into Irvine Lake.
The SCTO will feature hundreds of tagged fish planted in Irvine Lake and thousands in prizes. Participants who catch a tagged fish will be eligible for various sponsor-generated prizes ranging from rods, reels, tackle boxes and much more. This is the perfect opportunity to get your family and friends out of the house and back into the outdoors. The Trout Opener is the perfect time to tune up your angling skills and tackle, prior to heading up to the trout opener in the Sierras this season.
Additionally, the Southern California Trout Opener will feature five big fish prizes to be awarded in each of three categories including Adult Male, Adult Female, Juniors division (12 years or younger). Add special big fish prize and other great gift packages being generated by our sponsors and you have the makings of what is sure to become the biggest trout event in Southern California.

The Irvine Lake SCTO is open to anglers of all ages and is formatted as an event that is geared towards fun for the entire family.

Non-boaters, reserve your rental boat now; boaters, get your rig in the water the night before
With the lake at full pool, there’s less shoreline to fish, so boaters may have an advantage this year
The Western Outdoor News Irvine Lake Southern California Trout Opener (SCTO) will be here before you know it — Saturday, April 14th — and all participating anglers are encouraged to make their boat reservations a.s.a.p., as spots are filling up fast.
The SCTO marks one of the few occasions Irvine Lake allows pre-reservations for boat rentals, and anglers are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity. This tournament will be packed and all boats will be sold, so don’t be left out the day of the event — reserve your motorboat or pontoon now.
And for those opting to launch their own rig, Irvine Lake will also be offering boat slips so SCTO anglers can drop their rig in the water the night before and avoid the crowds and long lines on Saturday morning. And for only 10 bucks for the slip rental, it’s a no-brainer.
For more information, or to reserve your rental boat for the upcoming SCTO, call Irvine Lake at (714) 649-9111.
