Get to Know Riley Renick: Trout Camp Caretaker and Owner of Wild Waters Fly Fishing
Nestled along the Upper Sacramento River, CalTrout's Trout Camp has long been a gathering place for the people who love wild fish and the rivers they depend on. At the heart of it is Riley Renick — guide, conservationist, and the camp's new caretaker. Riley grew up coming to Trout Camp as a kid, went on to build a career guiding some of Northern California's most storied waters, and now carries forward the community that the camp's beloved original caretaker, Craig Ballenger, spent decades building. We sat down with Riley to hear about his life on the river, what makes Trout Camp special, and what he hopes guests take away when they leave.
