Return rainbow trout plants to the Castaic Lagoon.

The Issue

The economic value of trout fishing in California is estimated to be over $400 million per year in direct impacts. Anglers spend 8.3 million days fishing for trout each year in this state, directly creating jobs. These numbers are declining in a downward spiral and the moratorium on stocking trout at the Castaic Lagoon is a driving force in pushing people away from the sport. Please help us turn back the clock when stocking trout made the Castaic Lagoon a thriving shoreline fishery for campers and families and top destinations for bass anglers. Help us bring back community events and trout fishing derbies held for children each year. Help us provide a boost to our local economy.
