A disappearing Californian native
You can help save this fish!
There is nothing like finding yourself in that great wild place, surrounded by God's awesome creations, making the perfect cast, hooking the most amazing fish, and then going home to a wife who loves the tales of her fisherman.
California Golden Trout
A disappearing Californian native
California Golden Trout
Once called the Volcano Creek Golden Trout, this California Heritage Trout was named the State Fish by the Legislature in 1947. The California Golden Trout is one of California's ten Heritage Trout, and one of two California-native species considered at high-risk of extinction.
The California Golden Trout once thrived in nearly 120 miles of stream habitat found mostly in the Golden Trout Wilderness high in the Sierra Nevada. In 1995, the fish was named a State Species of Special Concern and is classified a Sensitive Species by the Forest Service.
This State Fish is the most likely California-native species to be protected under the Endangered Species Act. It's demise is due to habitat degradation and planting of non-native trout species like the Rainbow and Brown.

Little Ways to Make a Difference
The McCloud River Redband is a beauitful little trout native to the McCloud River and some of its tributaries. Unfortunately, this rare, angler-favorite trout is in danger of becoming extinct because of habitat degradation and fragmentation, as well as hybridization with hatchery-reared rainbow trout.
Despite the best efforts of conservationists nationwide, this little fish is in need of big-time help. California Trout, Inc., The Orvis Company, and The National Fish and Wildlife Service have issued a Triple Matching Grant Challenge. What this means for you and your money...
Every dollar you donate to this conservation and rescue operation through California Trout, Inc. (link provided below) will be tripled up to $90,000. There's no minimum donation, just what you can willingly afford. And if you're a trout fisherman, you've got a dollar to spare. Give a little, make a big difference.
