Annual Fishing Association Family BBQ

The Almanor Fishing Association will host its 32nd Founders’ Annual Family BBQ and Fundraiser on Saturday, July 26th, 2025, from 3 pm to 8 pm at the Lake Almanor Country Club Rec 1 Picnic Area. BBQ 4:30-5:30 Dinner will be served between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. The menu will be our traditional New York steak dinner for $35 or a Hot Dog dinner for $15. Both meals include beans, salad, bread, and cookies. Drink tickets for Sierra Nevada beer, wine, soda, and water are available for purchase on location.  Tickets will be available closer to the event day. Following dinner, a silent auction and large raffle drawing will take place, offering prizes such as overnight stays at casinos, cash, golf packages, coolers, fishing gear (including rods, reels, lures, dodgers, etc.), gift certificates to restaurants, gift baskets, and much more. There will be door prizes and a special raffle with unique items. Additionally, each child in attendance between the ages of 3 and 14 will take home a prize. This annual event is the only fundraiser hosted by our dedicated and active non-profit group of men and women volunteers. Funds from the event support the publication of our yearly newsletter, The Almanor Fisherman, our association's fish rearing cage program, scholarships for local high school students that we award each year, and provide financial support to the Chester High School Limnology Laboratory when needed. The Almanor Fishing Association Fish Rearing Cage Program is the largest and most successful pen project in the state. To date, more than 3.2 million Eagle Lake trout have been released into Lake Almanor by the association's volunteers. Our annual BBQ is essential to raise funds, allowing us to continue making Lake Almanor a trophy trout lake in the North State. The association is also responsible for the picnic area and restrooms at the Fishing Access Area at Hamilton Branch. We welcome new members and are always in need of volunteers to help feed fish during the cage rearing season (winter and spring) and to work our annual fundraiser.
