Campaign for the Snake Headwaters
The Campaign For the Snake Headwaters – better known by its acronym “C-Fish” – is a visionary effort led by local citizens, businesses, anglers, boaters and conservationists to permanently protect the best remaining free-flowing rivers and streams of northwest Wyoming’s Snake River drainage by including them in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
