EACH

In 1964, the Trout Air trout farm was born, raising fish for commercial use as well as for the sport fishing enjoyment of dedicated anglers. Four of the Preiner children pitched in whenever possible to help with the seemingly never-ending fish hatchery chores. Upon their return from the service, some of the Preiner sons started a recreational sky diving club located on Trout Air land. It was the skydivers, always hungry after their adventures, who inspired the humble beginnings of a restaurant connected with Trout Air. With a four-burner stove and twelve tables, the Trout Air Restaurant was born.

Due to increased popularity and demand, the Preiner family opened the Trout Haus in 1974, a foundation was laid at Trout Air and the McGowan Cabinet Shop was moved in one piece from Forest Lake to its new location as the focal point of the Trout Air complex. It was a complete family affair, having a member of the Preiner family working in every facet of the business. Trout Air closed in 1999, making way for Running Aces.

We are excited to bring back the memories, experiences, authentic tastes and the “catch-your-own” ponds of Trout Air; where Minnesotans enjoyed fishing and dining for decades.

the story behind...
