Steelhead Report Cards

July 15, 2021

Question: The state collects data from steelhead report cards. I would like to see this data. Is it ever released or summarized for public viewing?

Answer: Some data collected from steelhead report cards is summarized and updated on our website: wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Inland-Fisheries/Steelhead-Report-Card. The website also includes the last legislative report which summarizes data from 2007 through 2014. A legislative report summarizing data from 2015-2019, which includes total report cards sold, amount of revenue accrued and spent, angling data, and benefits of the report card program has been submitted for review and will be made available once approved. Requests for steelhead report card data can also be submitted directly to the Program Coordinator at [email protected] or through a formal request for public records.
