CITCOF SAN BERNARDIO - REQUEO FOR COUNCIL ACT~N APPROVAL OF $6,000 FROM PARK EXTENSION FUNDS FOR PURCHASE OF FISH FOR STOCKING STAFF REPORT SECCOMBE LAKE. Prior to the closing of Seccombe Lake Park for rehabilitation of the lake and redevelopment of the Park, Park Extension funds had been used to purchase fish for stocking the lake. The fish plantings bought with City funds were in addition to those the State Fish hatcheries provided, usually twice each year. Prior to opening the lake to fishing in June, 1987, the State provided approximately three (3) tons of Catfish which were planted at the end of April and the first week of May. The State provides fish only two times per year - in the Spring and late Fall, usually in April-May and October-November time frames. Fishing in Seccombe Lake not only provides exceptional recreation experiences for all ages, it also provides food for many of our citizens. Fishing at the Lake is consistently one of most used used recreation resources in the City with people fishing every day. It is estimated that there are 40,000-45,000 fishermen at Seccombe Lake annually. Because of the large number of individuals fishing at Seccombe Lake, twice per year fish planting is not sufficient to meet the demand. Therefore, it is recommended and requested that funds in the amount of $6,000 be approved to provide two additional fish plantings this year of approximately one ton of fish each planting.
