The FRVC was established in 1994 as a program of the Southwest Council of the Federation of Fly Fishers, operating under the U.S. Forest Service Volunteer Program to protect our rivers, streams and lakes. Working with the Forest Service, FRVC members in Forest Service uniform, patrol streams of the Angeles, San Bernardino and Los Padres National Forests. Uniformed members make contact with fishermen and other forest visitors, educating them regarding fishing regulations, fire restrictions, trash and pollution. FRVC members also assist in helping determine the needs for the stream preservation. This is done through field observations and working with the U. S. Forest Service and the California Department of Fish and Game.
