Last night’s chapter meeting is now up on the CCTU YouTube channel. Audrey Harris, this year’s recipient of the CCTU Steve Bailey Memorial Fellowship and a master’s candidate in the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Conservation Biology at Colorado State gave a fascinating presentation on her master’s research “Assisting greenback cutthroat trout recovery using an unlikely tool - brook trout genetics”. She reviewed the brook trout study in the Poudre Headwaters Project area and what their genetic signatures can tell us about fish movement between streams, barriers in the study area, and what environmental variables influence movement. Author, lecturer, journalist, photographer Ron Belak present a slideshow entitled “800 High Lakes in Colorado - Recommendations on Where to Fish”, celebrating his new book “The Fishing Guide to 800 High Lakes in Colorado” (BookBaby, 2021). He covered key lakes in the Front Range, Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand Mesa, Central Mountains and Weminuche Wilderness…some accessible by passenger vehicles while others require easy to moderate day hikes. This book is full of great fishing location tips and can be ordered at www.ronbelak.com.
