Trout Unlimited and Orvis are challenging the fly-fishing community to contribute to local conservation and enhancement through the Embrace-A-Stream program. The John Muir Chapter of TU has already been awarded $8000 toward projects on Putah Creek. This grant can be increased dramatically if the project garners local contributions as well. Small contributions to this challenge will go a long way through competitive matching grants:

- Most Unique Donors - $5,000 prize
- Most Money Raised - $2,500 prize

- Most gifts of $25 or Higher - $1,500 prize

- Most gifts of $10 to $24.99 - $1,000 prize


Let’s support our local trophy wild trout water and help make it a destination fishery!

We're still up there in second place now but losing some ground... Get everyone you know to contribute $10 to the cause. More donations from different people really count!
