Welcome the Fish Geek

This Spring we had been pushing for more fishing related blogs. With that push came all kinds of different blogs. We had more hunting blogs added, a couple sports blogs, and we broke out into a beer blog. So, we are happy to announce a new fishing blog. Jeremiah is a Maine native, who is currently living in Northern Utah and working on a Masters degree in Fisheries Biology at Utah State University. Head over and welcome Jeremiah to the Network. You can find him blogging at the Fish Geek.

Check out his picture and a brief bio below:

I was born and raised in rural northern Maine, where I grew up with a strong connection to the outdoors. I hunted and fished most every minute of my spare time, and the rest was spent daydreaming about the woods. In high school, I met a fisheries biologist while ice fishing on a local lake, and I realized that I wanted nothing more than to pursue a career in the fisheries field. I began working as a seasonal field assistant for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife around the time I graduated high school, and continued to work for the Department off and on for four years with a number of different fish biologists. I attended college at the University of Maine and graduated with a Bachelors degree in Wildlife Ecology with a minor in Fisheries. During that time, I temporarily moved out West and worked for Idaho Fish and Game on multiple research projects, primarily focused on rainbow trout research. I am currently living in northern Utah and working on a Masters degree in Fisheries Biology at Utah State University. Aside from working on my research project involving brown trout and native cutthroat trout, I continue to enjoy hunting, fishing and trapping in an entirely new setting.
