Summary

I am a fourth year Biology student with an interest in the high altitude aquatic systems of the Rockies. I grew up in Eagle, CO and have spent a considerable amount of time fly fishing and analyzing the water conditions of Gore Creek as well as the Eagle and Colorado Rivers. I'm interested in analyzing the anthropogenic effects on native/non-native trout species of the Rocky Mountains.
