The first Annual Wild Steelhead Festival, held in 2008, brought public awareness to this threatened species. Attendees celebrated the annual return of our wild Steelhead and learned of the benefits they bring to our community and the efforts being made to enhance their natural habitat through many fun and educational events during the three days.
The Redwood Empire Chapter of Trout Unlimited provides educational information on the status of wild fish in the Russian River Watershed and what needs to be done to help the threatened species.
