The Western Native Trout Initiative, one of 20 partnerships under the National Fish Habitat Partnership, is excited to announce a new 12-state Western Native Trout Challenge!

The Western Native Trout Challenge invites anglers to help celebrate by catching native trout and char in each of 12 Western states (Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming), at their own pace. By attempting to catch 18 of the 21 species throughout 12 states (at the master angler level), participants can enjoy the adventure of a lifetime!

Thank you to the state fish and wildlife agencies in each of the 12 states that are partnering on this program, along with the USDA Forest Service, the federal Bureau of Land Management, and Trout Unlimited.
