Thank you all for not only the countless hours, effort & vision, but the fight that it had to take to make it happen with the gov & as a group!!! When I retire (3-4) & have more time I would love to experience this special place & help with some labor if the timing is right with your projects!

It's been over 35 years, but I swear I saw a shot of Tom Peppas. I worked in the Powell Fly Shop through the mid 80's. Loved coming to Hat Creek with the Chico Fly Fisher's Club.

This is so cool ! I would love to go back in time and see this event take hold.

My first trout on a dry fly was a wild rainbow from Hat Creek.

Thanks guys

Love your videos

Love this channel, love the folk’s, fishing is a life supporting system when properly monitored with care.-ML&Aloha Your Boy Kekoa&Ohana.🌲🤙🏽🌲🐺

I came to California in 1987 and soon after visited the Lassen Volcano National Park area. We often stayed at Rim Rock Ranch, a quaint rustic little 1920s-looking place with crystal clear small streams you could step over running right up to the cabin doors. I quickly discovered nearby Hat Creek, and it looked nothing like the wide creek running in open fields that you see here. The banks were rather thickly covered with trees, bushes, and underbrush, and in many cases it wasn't very easy to even get to the actual creek, which was only about 20 feet side if that. There was no sign of any of these guys or their organization in sight. In fact, nobody at all was there, but the fishing was incredible.

Sounds like you were on Upper Hat creek which is very different water. Much smaller than the wild trout section talked about here. The wild trout section is a 3 mile stretch of water from Hat Power House 2 to the barrier dam just before Lake Britton.

I live in Burney and love the hat creek. Where can I buy a cal trout hat?

Yes it is history.

As a former Vice President and legal counsel on its major litigation in the 80’s and 90’s, Cal Trout has done nothing but self-promotion and taking credit for the hard work of others.

Thank you! I go every year. Need to learn how to fly fish. How does one get involved with these efforts? Iv been going for over 30 years. Love the area

Commented for the fish

So... Where did the silt come from?

No one ever figured that out. One theory (more like a wild guess) is that there was a lava tube filled with silt that got broken open somehow and then the silt washed into the river
