TROUT SPRINGS Trout Springs was established as a business by Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd R. Warner in 1950. It consisted of a small cafe building and several fish ponds. The cafe building was built from a torn-down girl's dormitory at Hill Air Force Base. One and a half second feet of water was developed for the fish ponds south of the cafe and adjacent to the railroad tracks. An additional amount of water was piped down from the mountains from a source originally known as Whiskey Springs. It is now known as Warner Springs. The cafe at that time was one of only two eating establishments on the main road between Evanston, Wyoming and Ogden that served meals. The trout ponds and the cafe were operated as one unit. Though regular meals were served customers could catch fish and have them cooked and served in the cafe. Sometimes fish were still being cooked at 2 A.M. in the morning. During one 3 months period 14,000 trout were fished out. One of the main sources of business was from truckers who often lined the road (Lincoln Highway/US Highway 30) on both sides of the cafe for a hundred yards. Economically it was very successful as it paid for itself in fourteen months. The economics were helped out considerably during a few months when one-armed bandits and marble games were operated for cash. However, its success was mainly due to a wonderful lady called Jinx (Beth Jenkins Warner, Lloyd's wife). After the first two years the cafe only was leased out to several different operators. Finally its end came in 1964 with the construction of Interstate highway 1-84 which destroyed most of the water supply and put the cafe off and away from the main traffic. Written by Lloyd R. Warner for the Morgan County Historical Society From the Morgan County News we found that at different times the business, Trout Springs, was leased to Bea and Jerry Tyner; also Mr. and Mrs. Bill Long.
