Fisheries biologist Dave Lentz will be with us for an update on the status of California’s golden trout. Dave, a longtime friend of TU, will also give us his perspective on the impact of last fall’s passage of SB 1148, which has led to a welcome increase in emphasis on native trout at the Department and a mandatory revision of the CDFW’s Plan for Trout Management. Dave will talk about changes in the Department’s approach to trout stocking and watershed/basin trout management planning that have come about as a result of this legislation.
