Well, it looks like the fish geek won’t be around to post much for the next week.  I’ll be at the 137th annual meeting of the American Fisheries Society in San Francisco.  Ship out early tomorrow morning. 

The meeting promises to be a big one.  Over 1,800 presentations are slated, which promises a constant flow of information throughout the week.  It also offers a great opportunity to socialize and network with other fisheries people from throughout the continent. 

I’ll be giving a presentation on environmental factors potentially limiting the distribution of brown trout in our study stream and throughout the West, and how this might affect native cutthroat trout.  This means trying to summarize a year’s worth of field work in a 15-20 minute block, but hopefully it’ll go smoothly.

Anyway, I hope to soak up plenty of info and report back next weekend.  Until then, feast your eyes on this pig, courtesy of Kirk Dahle, Logan, UT.
