Carson River Restoration

Wild Trout Populations Are Dwindling

This highly regarded angling destination is in a state of decline. There has been limited focus on fisheries conservation resulting in dwindling wild trout population and an over-dependence on stocking. Furthermore, habitat is declining due to agricultural impact and channelization.

Conservation Goal

  • Significantly increase the number and distribution of wild and native trout in the Carson and ensure their long-term sustainability.

Recent Accomplishments

  • Completed a comprehensive literature review of the Carson Watershed and presented findings to the Carson Watershed Council.

What We Will Accomplish in 2014-15

  • Develop a long-term strategy for the Carson, including a comprehensive set of restoration and recovery actions.
