As the Eel River host, CalTrout is excited to participate in this annual event, a three-month-long celebration bringing awareness to the iconic steelhead thriving in the wild waters of Humboldt County. Held during the "Peak of the Run", from January 1 to March 31 2017, Humboldt Steelhead Days (HSD) brings anglers from across the nation to compete for a chance to catch the legendary fish of a thousand casts, with a prize pool of more than $10,000!

HSD promotes a wide array of weekend events such as the popular IF4 film festival, steelhead expos, photo competition casting and rigging clinics, watershed tours, farm-to-table dinners, films and art exhibitions. All proceeds go toward building community awareness, protection, and river restoration activities on three watersheds: Eel, Mad and Trinity Rivers. These activities are overseen and coordinated by three key HSD beneficiaries, The Mad River Alliance on the Mad, California Trout on the Eel, and the Trinity’s Mountain Community and Culture.
