California Trout, Inc.

At California Trout, we believe that abundant wild fish indicate healthy waters and that healthy waters mean a better California. As such, we work to solve the state's complex resource issues while balancing the needs of wild fish and people. The organization was started in 1971 by a small group of concerned anglers. From the beginning, CalTrout championed wild trout management and the concept of catch and release, spearheading efforts to enact programs and landmark legislation to protect California's natural resources. Over the last five decades, CalTrout has come to signify scientific credibility, a strong and respected voice on statewide water and fish policy, an enduring legacy of on-the-ground project and measurable outcomes.
