Conserving, restoring and protecting trout and their coldwater streams and rivers
Fishing After Hours Zoom Presentation:

On Wednesday, November 4th from 6:30 to 7:30 pm, Connor Ford, MS candidate will present his Research Findings via Zoom during our November Fishing After Hours event. Connor, center of photo here, is our 2025-26 Kitzman/ Waara Grant Fellowship winner from MTU. At his request, we pushed off his presentation from late May to November, so he could share more of his completed results.
Connor’s presentation is titled “Sand and Bugs: A Synthesis of Findings from the Lower Salmon Trout River Benthic Macroinvertebrate Surveys.” A number of us had the privilege of seeing Connor present his early findings at Superior on Tap last February at Ore Dock Brewery. He is a very engaging, effective, and fun presenter. Check our FWTU website for the Zoom link.
Connor is also an avid, experienced fly fisher and he generously volunteered to be a coach at our 5th Annual YDFFW last August.

Trout Unlimited is America’s leading coldwater conservation organization. Our hope is that clear, cold, fishable water exists for generations to come, but we can’t do it without the support of committed anglers and conservationists like you .
Fred Waara Trout Unlimited needs volunteers to further its mission. Get involved in our stream restoration or youth education programs.
