After a ten-year review the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has decided not to give the California golden trout protection under the Endangered Species Act. “The service… determined the species is amply safeguarded by measures including a cooperative conservation agreement signed in 2004 between government agencies and private groups, including Trout Unlimited and the Federation of Fly Fishers,” reports Louis Sahagun in the Los Angeles Times.
