BRIAN HEINOLD DISCUSSES AQUATIC ENTOMOLOGY

Brian Heinold will speak on aquatic entomology at the Evergreen Trout Unlimited chapter meeting on Wednesday June 19, 2013. Brian has worked in the field of aquatic entomology since 2001 with more recent positions as an aquatic entomologist at Colorado Parks and Wildlife and as a research associate at Colorado State University, where he received his master’s degree in the field in 2010.

Brian’s main interest is in the diversity and distribution of mayflies, stoneflies, and caddis flies in the mountain streams of Colorado. He has also done research on the occurrence of rare winter-emerging stoneflies (snowflies) in Colorado and recently completed a study of the aquatic macroinvertebrates of the Upper Colorado River to better understand the effects of the Windy Gap Dam on aquatic life.

Brian will talk on the life cycles of aquatic insects and how they affect fishing as well as how to successfully seine for them. Please join us at Beau Jo’s Pizzeria in downtown Evergreen at 6:30 PM for dinner and libations, followed by a short business meeting and the talk at about 7:15 PM. Brian will collect some insects ahead of time for our enjoyment (Visual enjoyment, that is; we’ll be careful to isolate them from the pizza).
