HTC July Presentation

Did you know our state has 11 scientifically distinct native trout forms? Believe it! These trout fall into three categories: Cutthroat, Rainbow/Redbands, and Golden Trout. Wow, you’re already soaking up knowledge to use at summer pool parties or meeting new friends on the river.

Two dedicated fishheads, FFFC Board Member Gavin O’Leary and his son Cael ,will be teaching everything you need to know about the California Heritage Trout Challenge (HTC). Their insights come from completing 4 successful quests… with Gavin being the 100th angler to successfully finish the Challenge (way back in 2008) and Cael completing his second Challenge in October 2025.

We’ll cover these topics and more:

Overview of the HTC and why you might want to do it
Details about each qualifying fish (what and where)
Trip planning and what to expect while searching for trout
Insiders tips and how to get the most out of your quest to complete the Challenge

YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS, SEE YOU AT THE MEETING!

Our Mission

We are a FEDERATION OF FLY FISHERS ffiliated club, a national organization whose goal, like ours, is to promote the wonderful sport of fly-fishing as well as protect our natural resources. We promote catch and release, education, conservation, and above all, encourage and help those who desire to learn more about all aspects of fly-fishing.

Fly Fishers for Conservation (FFFC) was organized in 1961 by a group of devoted fly fishers deeply concerned with the preservation of trout and all game fish, their environment, and the quality of fishing. Our club has maintained two goals since that time: To foster and promote the sport of angling with artificial flies. To protect, conserve and increase our angling resources.

Fly Fishers for Conservation is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt non-profit organization. This means you can use your contribution as a tax deduction. The club gets revenue from member-ship dues and the annual fundraiser dinner. We try to contribute to conservation issues in the area and to our youth with our Trout in the Classroom program, the No Child Left Inside program and by holding a Youth Fly-Fishing Academy annually. The club is al-ways in need of funds. Please consider donating. You may send a check to Fly Fishers for Conservation at PO Box 1192, Clovis, CA 93613. Your donations will be greatly appreciated and they will help the club fulfill its obligations.
