Smith River Alliance Update
The Smith River is one of California’s premier “Salmon Strongholds.”  The Smith is home to coastal cutthroat trout, steelhead, and coho and Chinook salmon.  CalTrout has been a trusted partner with the Smith River Alliance (SRA) on decades of conservation projects in the watershed.  For updates on these projects CLICK HERE

Drought Relief Bills
HR 3964, the House drought relief bill known as “Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley Emergency Water Delivery Act” was passed on February 5th. In response, Senators Feinstein and Boxer of California and Wyden and Merkley of Oregon introduced a bill in the U.S. Senate, the California Emergency Drought Relief Act of 2014. While the House bill ultimately passed, CalTrout joined others in the conservation community in releasing a joint statement in opposition of that bill. READ MORE

Concerned about deteriorating fishing conditions throughout the state, a passionate group of anglers founded California Trout in 1971. They had a simple mission: To protect and restore wild trout, steelhead, salmon and their waters throughout California.

Forty years later, CalTrout is still protecting California's trout, salmon and steelhead -- protecting them when necessary, and fighting to restore them wherever possible.
