Join the CCF

Think of how much North America's trout, salmon and steelhead fisheries mean to you as an angler. Think of the memories they've provided, and of the anticipation each new fishing season brings. Then, please consider joining the Coldwater Conservation Fund.

Since it was established in 1993, the CCF has raised millions of dollars for cutting-edge scientific and economic research and analysis, projects that generate the critical knowledge needed to conserve, protect and restore our fragile rivers and their watersheds. From research on whirling disease, acid rain, and hatchery introductions to developing new models for river restoration, our work is addressing the core challenges facing North America's coldwater fisheries.

We need your support. Annual membership begins with a gift of $1,000. Membership benefits include:

The opportunity to take specially-organized trips that combine superb fly fishing with visits to project sites and presentations from top conservation professionals

A fleece vest embroidered with the CCF logo

Subscription to The Complete Angler, the CCF's newsletter, and project update

Invitations to events, including our annual dinner

A membership in Trout Unlimited and a subscription to TROUT magazine

By helping us continue to be the leader in national coldwater fisheries conservation, you'll be giving back to the rivers that have given you so much.
