Steelhead Fishing Report and Restoration Card

Overview

The Department of Fish and Game is required by statute to monitor and restore steelhead populations. Central to this mandate is obtaining information on angler effort and harvest of both wild and hatchery steelhead. The Steelhead Fishing Report and Restoration Card is the only state-wide program designed to gather such data.
