Our Mission
Truckee Wild promotes conservation and education with a focus on sustaining the fisheries that connect us to this watershed. We support conservation efforts, help anglers better understand the river, and share timely information about fishing conditions—from low flows to hoot-owl closures—so each of us can make informed choices about where and when to fish. Through knowledge, stewardship, and respect for the water, we can protect these fisheries for the generations that follow. Keep Truckee Wild!
