Both parks are on county land and maintained by the Kings River Conservancy through an agreement with Fresno County Parks and Recreation.
Fresno Fly Fishers for Conservation
Fresno Fly Fishers for Conservation work with the Conservancy to raise funds for the Frank Jones Memorial Enforcement Fund. The FFFC are also partners in the implementation of the Ted Martin Family Grant Project that will remove invasive species, restore the original genetic strain back into the river that will increase the rainbow trout population of the Lower Kings River, and add additional funds to the Frank Jones Memorial Enforcement Fund.
Fresno Regional Foundation
The Conservancy works closely with the Fresno Regional Foundation to secure and manage a variety of grants as well as our non-wasting endowment.
Jimmie Morales/Sierra Fly Fisher Tours & Yosemite Rivers Fly Shop

They are also valued, long time supporters of the Conservancy. We are proud to have Jimmie and the crew as partners. and www.yosemiterivers.com.

Kings River Fisheries Management Program
The Kings River Fisheries Management Program works in partnership with the Conservancy for the implementation of the Ted Martin Family Grant Project that will include construction of an incubator house ( hatchery) facility which will give the project control of the genetic characteristics of fingerlings to be released into the river. The Project will select and purchase trout eggs over a twenty year period with the goal of eventually producing the most adaptive, best suited eggs for the Kings River that will once again, as it did fifty years ago, result in a superior strain of rainbow trout.
