Humboldt Steelhead Days is a three-month-long celebration designed to bring awareness to the iconic Steelhead thriving in the wild waters of Humboldt County. Held during the “Peak of the Run,” from January 1 to March 31, Humboldt Steelhead Days brings anglers from across the nation to compete for a chance to catch the legendary fish of a thousand casts, with a prize pool of more than $10,000! All proceeds go toward building community awareness, protection, and river restoration on three watersheds: Eel, Mad and Trinity Rivers.
