The McCloud might be California's most-loved (and most-beautiful) river, yet despite its protected status, it faces multiple threats -- including the raising of Shasta Dam and a FERC dam relicensing.

Here's what Cal Trout is doing to protect the McCloud:
Raising Shasta Dam: Cal Trout is opposed to the raising of Shasta Dam, which would flood 1-2 miles of the Upper Sacramento and McCloud Rivers. (To read CalTrout's position on dam raising, click here.

McCloud River Dam Relicensing: Cal Trout's protecting flow regimes on the lower McCloud during the FERC relicensing of the McCloud Dam. (click to learn more in our screencast.)

McCloud Documentary: CalTrout's short documentary Enough is Enough combines stunning photography with information about the threats to the McCloud (film accepted into the The Wild & Scenic Film Festival and the Fly Fishing Film Tour).
